Daniel Siegel (1999) defines the mind as a “process of regulating
the flow of energy and information.” The SCT method of functional
subgrouping discriminates and integrates the flow of information in
the group thus potentiating integration in the developing mind of
its members. Functional subgrouping will be demonstrated and
discussed in the context of interpersonal neurobiology.
Learning
Objectives:
The attendee will
be able to:
1. Define the
group mind.
2. Discriminate
functional from stereotyped subgrouping
3. Identify the
kind of experience functional subgrouping potentiates and relate
this to brain structure and function.
