An understanding of the principles of neuroscience that illuminate how interpersonal relationships shape the brain, especially as articulated by interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) (Siegel, 1999), may help group therapists 1) increase their holding capacity, 2) offer patients a framework that can decrease shame and increase regulation, and 3) identify methods of group interaction that can foster neuroplasticity, support neural integration, and lead to greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships. This paper introduces several aspects of neuroscience and discusses how therapist awareness and sharing of this knowledge with group participants at the right empathic moment can be both a psychoeducational support and a promoter of neural integration. While numerous neuroscience topics may be of help, here we will suggest three: early brain development, including the nature of implicit, explicit, and autobiographical memory; group as a source of regulation (with a brief mention of mirror neurons); and four domains of neural integration that are particularly useful in the setting of group therapy.
理解神经科学原理，尤其是人际神经生物学（IPNB）所阐述的人际关系如何塑造大脑的原理（Siegel，1999），可能有助于团体治疗师：1）提高他们的容纳能力；2）为患者提供一个能够减少羞耻感并增强调节能力的框架；3）确定能够促进神经可塑性、支持神经整合，并带来更大幸福感和更充实人际关系的团体互动方法。本文介绍了神经科学的几个方面，并讨论了治疗师在恰当的共情时刻向团体参与者觉察并分享这些知识，如何既能提供心理教育支持，又能促进神经整合。虽然众多神经科学主题可能会有所帮助，但在此我们将提出三个主题：早期大脑发育，包括内隐记忆、外显记忆和自传体记忆的本质；团体作为调节的来源（简要提及镜像神经元）；以及在团体治疗环境中特别有用的四个神经整合领域。
