Description
Understanding Interpersonal Neurobiology
A Complete Relational Perspective
Terry Marks-Tarlow, Ph.D.
Please note: This webinar event is not eligible for continuing education units at this time. While we cannot offer this webinar for CE credit at this time, we will be applying to do so with the American Psychological Association in June, and should be so authorized by October.
Interpersonal neurobiology is a new framework for understanding the integrated workings of the body, brain, and mind as they emerge out of relationship with others. This workshop will examine the historical roots for this movement in attachment theory combined with ever more effective ways of measuring brains in context. We will look at contributions made by pioneers in the field—Allan Schore, Daniel Siegel, Lou Cozolino, Jaak Panksepp—along with clinical implications of their findings. We will delve into central tenets of the field, including the paradigm shifts from emphasizing cognition to recognizing the centrality of emotion, from privileging conscious processes to privileging the unconscious, from staying in the here-and-now to honoring developmental history, from linear and reductionist views of health and well-being to nonlinear ones.
Participants will gain the basics of brain structure and development, as each core concept is explored theoretically and clinically through case examples. The workshop will include exciting new trends in brain imagery that illuminate new aspects of the neurobiology of relationship. The format will be partly didactic and highly interactive as we look together at how core concepts contribute to moment-to-moment practice.
This webinar supports students to:
- Describe the historical roots of interpersonal neurobiology;
- Explain the basics of brain structure as they apply to attachment and regulation theories;
- Apply core concepts of self-regulation and interactive regulation to clinical cases;
- Describe trends in brain imaging that promote a deeper understanding of the neurobiology of relationship.
