Description
Translating recent neuroscience and infant research to clinical practice.
By decoding the scientific data, this book explains how recent findings from
brain and infant research can expand a clinician’s understanding of the
therapist-client relationship and, in turn, improve how therapy is done. Offering
clinical insights into key developmental mechanisms, Judith Rustin highlights
the possibilities for new and creative treatment protocols. She summarizes and
synthesizes basic concepts and ideas derived from infant research and neuroscience
for clinicians not familiar with the literature. Using examples from her own
practice to show how a clinician might integrate these concepts into psychodynamic
practice, she invites other clinicians to experiment with finding their own
pathways to integration of this valuable material in the clinical endeavor.
Rustin explains how self- and mutual regulation (or bidirectional interaction)—concepts
of which are both firmly grounded in the dyadic systems model of interaction—develop
in infancy, how they contribute to a growing sense of self, and how they ultimately
serve as templates for future interactions with others. She explains and shows
how an understanding of them enriches a two-person perspective in clinical work.
She then focuses on the brain science behind four additional concepts, each
of which has particular application to clinical work: memory, the mind–body
connection, the fear system, and mirror neurons and the concept of shared circuitry.
Clinical material is interwoven with explications of each concept.
