Interpersonal Neurobiology
Interpersonal Neurobiology is a field that explores how relationships and social interactions influence brain development and functioning. It combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, and social sciences to understand how our connections with others shape our mental health and emotional well-being.
This approach emphasizes the importance of attachment and empathy in human development. It suggests that our brains are wired for connection, and positive relationships can enhance brain function, while negative interactions can lead to stress and mental health issues. Understanding these dynamics can help improve therapeutic practices and promote healthier relationships.
