EP05 State of the Art Address 10 - Toward an Interpersonal Neurobiology of Psychotherapy - Daniel Siegel, MD
Original Program Date :
Length: 1:02:46
Description:
Interpersonal neurobiology is a way to define mental health and the kinds of social experiences the brain requires to achieve a coherent mind. This interdisciplinary synthesis of science reveals an exciting convergence among research findings that helps us in mental health to explore the interplay among relationships, the mind and the brain. Experience shapes the connections in the brain in ways that we can now understand and harness within psychotherapy to help stimulate the neuronal activation and growth necessary to achieve resilience and emotional well-being.
Educational Objectives:
- To name the nine prefrontal functions that underlie secure attachment and emotional well-being.
- To list the ways in which experience shapes the brain.
