Description
Description:
An interpersonal neurobiology approach to parenting helps psychotherapists promote secure attachment within families by nurturing the creation of coherent narratives of parents’ early life experiences. This scientific view proposes that empathetic relationships making sense within our life stories, harmonious mental functioning and an integrated brain all mutually reinforce each other.
Educational Objectives:
- To list seven areas of neural integration that parents can focus on to help them achieve a coherent narrative.
- To identify four ways in which parents’ behavior with children can be contingent so that their children’s brains develop a coherent self state of activation.
