A child's emotional bonds shape their brain's development. Siegel explores how interpersonal relationships sculpt the mind, for better or worse. From attachment to trauma, he reveals the pathways by which our social environment remolds our neural circuitry over a lifetime. Integrating neuroscience and psychology, Siegel offers a groundbreaking framework to understand the interwoven nature of the brain and its social context.
