This article introduces the systems-centered concept of the "group mind" by linking systems-centered thinking and interpersonal neurobiology, building on Siegel's definition of mind as the process of regulating the flow of energy and information. Functional subgrouping, the systems-centered group method for resolving conflicts, discriminates and integrates the flow of energy and information within and between group members, subgroups, and the group-as-a-whole, thus potentiating survival, development, and transformation. This article uses the interpersonal neurobiological framework to discuss functional subgrouping as a tool for developing the group mind: considering how functional subgrouping facilitates emotional regulation, creates a secure relational context, and potentiates neural integration.
本文通过将以系统为中心的思维与人际神经生物学联系起来，引入了“群体思维”这一以系统为中心的概念，其建立在西格尔对思维的定义之上，即思维是调节能量和信息流的过程。功能性子分组是一种以系统为中心的解决冲突的群体方法，它区分并整合了群体成员、子群体以及整个群体内部和之间的能量和信息流，从而增强生存、发展和转变能力。本文运用人际神经生物学框架来讨论功能性子分组作为发展群体思维的一种工具：探讨功能性子分组如何促进情绪调节、创造一个安全的关系情境以及增强神经整合。
