- Title
Wired to Connect: Neuroscience, Relationships, and Therapy.
- Authors
FISHBANE, MONA DEKOVEN
- Abstract
The article discusses the characteristics of interpersonal neurobiology highlighting relationships, emotions, the brain and its relationship with family therapy. The author also explores some clinical interventions that may be useful in integrating interpersonal neurobiology into works as family and couple therapists. It was found that the basic beliefs about systems, contexts and socially constructed meaning are validated by brain science; clearly, what is emerging is a relational view of the person and the vital importance of relationships for survival and for the wiring of the brain. Early in the developmental history of family therapy, in reaction to psychoanalysis, the focus was on the family system rather than the individual.
