PSY 7745 Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment
This course investigates the emergence of a new sub-discipline within psychology and psychotherapy: interpersonal neurobiology. Pioneers in this rapidly growing field, such as Daniel Siegel, Allan Schore, and Stephen Porges, all maintain that our brains are wired to the interpersonal domain. This course introduces key concepts from the field of interpersonal neurobiology, examining basic aspects of the mind and interpersonal relationships. It will also explore, with research support, the practical applications of interpersonal neurobiology using such core concepts as integration and attachment theory.
