This bestselling book put the field of interpersonal neurobiology on the map for over 100,000 readers. Daniel J. Siegel goes beyond the nature and nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain. He presents a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the emergence of the human mind and the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual. Illuminating how and why neurobiology matters, this book is essential reading for clinicians, educators, researchers, and students interested in promoting healthy development and resilience.

Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., a child psychiatrist at the UCLA School of Medicine, is mighty fond of his own ideas. He has learned the trick of getting high on his own ideas – he sounds almost euphoric throughout the second edition of his book THE DEVELOPING MIND: HOW RELATIONSHIPS AND THE BRAIN INTERACT TO SHAPE WHO WE ARE (2012). In addition, he positively loves to use technical jargon.
Please don’t misunderstand me here. I have no doubt that our relationships and our brains interact. For years C. G. Jung and his followers have discussed how archetypes work in babies as they form relationships with the mother-figures and father-figures and others. Presumably the archetypes that babies project onto caregivers are based in the babies’ brains. John Bowlby and his followers have enormously expanded attachment theory. Attachments involve what Jung and his followers called archetypes.
As is well known, brain research has also grown tremendously in recent years. No doubt Siegel is familiar with much of the professional literature about the brain. But here is one concern I have: Just how tentative are the professional studies of the brain? For example, if certain studies of the brain are really tentative and exploratory, should we take Siegel’s almost euphoric enthusiasm about certain points with a grain of salt, as they say?
Basically, Siegel wants to advance what he styles as interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB). By definition, IPNB involves relating studies of interpersonal relationships and studies of neurobiology. By definition, relating A and B involves integrating them with one another. It is the prospect of such integration that Siegel finds so exciting.
Incidentally, Jung and his followers have been discussing integration for years.
