Interpersonal Neurobiology studies how relationships and connections affect the brain. IPNB states that the brain continues growing throughout our lives. This growth indicates that issues with the brain that once seemed untreatable could potentially be treatable by continued study and research into Interpersonal Neurobiology.
IPNB is used for understanding change in counseling and other fields like education, parenting, business, and the military.
An important idea that comes from the study of Interpersonal Neurobiology is the concept of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to make connections and neural pathways. These connections include the way that humans learn. By repeatedly studying specific things or acting in certain ways, the brain forms pathways that make the behavior or concept easier to perform the next time. IPNB shows that neuroplasticity continues throughout a person’s life. It doesn’t stop in childhood.

This could be a new instance of something not working well, or it’s possible that something hasn’t been working well for a very long time. It could be a behavior, a relationship, a job, an attitude, a way of thinking or feeling, or it could be that the ways you used to cope are no longer working or serving you anymor...

I view life as a screenplay. Each person is the main character in their own script with its unique plot line and an array of characters engaged in dynamic interaction. This script is the product of one's biology, significant relationships across the lifespan, cultural background, and social context. It represents one's tendency in organizing new experiences, an implicit set of emotionally-based...
