In this interview, Dr. Dan Siegel shares his expertise on interpersonal neurobiology and explains how unresolved trauma in an individual’s past can affect future relationships. Dr. Siegel discusses the different types of attachment styles that exist between parents and their children and in other relationships, and presents effective methods to help improve these social and emotional connections.

An award-winning educator, he is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and recipient of several other honorary fellowships. Dr. Siegel is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational organization that focuses on how the development of mindsight in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes.
