Synopsis

A revised edition of the bestselling book on how relationships build our brains.

As human beings, we cherish our individuality yet we know that we live in constant relationship to others, and that other people play a significant part in regulating our emotional and social behavior. Although this interdependence is a reality of our existence, we are just beginning to understand that we have evolved as social creatures with interwoven brains and biologies. The human brain itself is a social organ and to truly understand being human, we must understand not only how we as whole people exist with others, but how our brains, themselves, exist in relationship to other brains.

The first edition of this book tackled these important questions of interpersonal neurobiology—that the brain is a social organ built through experience—using poignant case examples from the author's years of clinical experience. Elegant explanations of social neuroscience wove together emerging findings from the research literature to bring neuroscience to the stories of our lives.

Child care policies, parenting practices and health care initiatives should all be informed by the neuroscience of human relationships.

Goodreads review by Morgan on October 29, 2022

At times (most of the time) this is a useful and generative read. At other times, it is somewhat dated and cringey. This (mostly great but) mixed bag of a text is still 100% worth reading. In fact, this may be the definitive text on this subject. But the reader should absolutely be warned in advance......more

I will buy this book and keep it as reference. It is a good book for educators, parents, and anybody with interest... I found the examples provided at the end of the chapters especially helpful and also the explanations of how the brain works that were in plain English. The book can get a bit too te......more

Goodreads review by Joe on December 21, 2013

This book by Dr. Cozolino answers that question that I pose to my graduate level stuents ever time I teach psychopathology and how to use the DSM 5.
