- Cutting-edge science and insight on the areas of the mind, brain, and relationships.
- Practical tools, such as the Hand Model of the Brain, case examples, and detailed descriptions of how to use the material in treatment planning and intervention.

- Written materials, including an outline of the course and a complete index of studies, books, and resources mentioned throughout the training.
What is Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)?
Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) is an interdisciplinary framework that seeks to understand the complex interplay among human relationships, the mind, and the brain. It integrates findings from various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and attachment to explain how personal experiences and interpersonal relationships shape the development and functioning of the brain, which in turn influence emotional, social, and cognitive processes. IPNB emphasizes that our relationships and social connections have a profound impact on our mental health and neural functioning.
Mind: Explore the most recent science of what the mind is and how to optimize mental health. Master the foundational concepts of integration, energy flow, consciousness, and subjective experience to provide effective therapeutic interventions.
Brain: Dive into the fascinating field of neuroplasticity as Dr. Siegel highlights the structure and function of the embodied brain and the bodily systems that shape our mental lives. Take away tools to help clients integrate their body and its nervous system to live with well-being and a happiness that includes meaning, connection, and emotional balance.
Relationships: Explore all stages of development, from conception to adulthood, illuminating how our early life experiences and relationships shape who we become. Learn the science of relationships, from romantic to familial and friendships, and discover how to support healthy interpersonal connection.
Learning Objectives for Participating Health Care Professionals
At the end of the program, you will be better able to:
- Describe what the mind is from an interpersonal neurobiology perspective.
- Describe how integration—the linkage of differentiated parts of a system—leads to optimal self-organization experienced as flexibility, adaptability, coherence (resilience across time), energy, and stability.
- Identify the role that mindsight—insight, empathy, and integration—plays in well-being and rewarding relationships.
- Describe how the brain develops and changes through relationships, consciousness, and neuroplasticity.
- Describe how relational connection influences the growth of connections in the brain.
- Describe how relational integration is the basis of neural integration, which is crucial for healthy relationships.

Continuing Education Credit (CEC) Information
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals, as well as the general public.
Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) is highly relevant to the work of health care providers as it offers a comprehensive understanding of the mind, emphasizing the importance of integration in optimal self-organization. By defining the mind from an IPNB perspective, healthcare providers gain insights into how the linkage of differentiated parts leads to flexibility, adaptability, coherence, energy, and stability in individuals. Mindsight, encompassing insight, empathy, and integration, is identified as a crucial element for well-being and fostering rewarding relationships. The developmental aspects of the brain influence relationships, consciousness, and neuroplasticity and highlight the significance of relational connections in shaping neural integration, essential for healthy relationships. Additionally, the identification of attachment categories and the scientific underpinnings emphasizing integration as the basis of health provide healthcare professionals with a framework for understanding and addressing mental health challenges.
