Effective psychotherapy can be said to only work and have lasting positive effects if it changes the structure of the brain and how the brain functions. Join Dr. Siegel and learn how the therapeutic relationship and clinical interventions can optimize neuroplastic effects in creating lasting change within psychotherapy. Facets of neural growth such as synaptogenesis, neurogenesis, myelinogenesis, and epigenesis will be discussed, and the implications and applications of these findings on psychotherapy will be explored.
