Human brains and behavior are shaped by genetic predispositions and
early experience. But we are not doomed by our genes or our past.
Neuroscientific discoveries of the last decade have provided an
optimistic and revolutionary view of adult brain function: People
can change. This revelation about neuroplasticity offers hope to
therapists and to couples seeking to improve their relationship.
Loving With the Brain in Mind explores ways to help couples become
proactive in revitalizing their relationship. It offers an in-depth
understanding of the heartbreaking dynamics in unhappy couples and
the healthy dynamics of couples who are flourishing.
Sharing her extensive clinical experience and an integrative
perspective informed by neuroscience and relationship science, Mona
Fishbane gives us insight into the neurobiology underlying couples
dances of reactivity. Readers will learn how partners become
reactive and emotionally dysregulated with each other, and what is
going on in their brains when they do. Clear and compelling
discussions are included of the neurobiology of empathy and how
empathy and selfregulation can be learned. Understanding
neurobiology, explains Fishbane, can transform your clinical
practice with couples and help you hone effective therapeutic
interventions.
This book aims to empower therapists and the couples they treat
as they work to change interpersonal dynamics that drive them
apart. Understanding how the brain works can inform the therapist s
theory of relationships, development, and change. And therapists
can offer clients neuroeducation about their own reactivity and
relationship distress and their potential for personal and
relational growth. A gifted clinician and a particularly talented
neuroscience writer, Dr. Fishbane presents complex material in an
understandable and engaging manner. By anchoring her work in
clinical cases, she never loses sight of the people behind the
science."
