Interpersonal Neurobiology

I've just started a course in Interpersonal Neurobiology with the Mindsight Institute (founded by Dan Siegel).  Interpersonal Neurobiology pulls together thinking and research relating human development from sciences including:

Anthropology
Biology (developmental, evolution, genetics, zoology)
Cognitive Science
Computer Science
Developmental Psychopathology
Linguistics
Neuroscience (affective, cognitive, developmental, social)
Mathematics
Mental Health
Physics
Psychiatry
Psychology (cognitive, developmental, evolutionary, experimental, of religion, social, attachment theory, memory)
Sociology
Systems Theory (chaos and complexity theory)

Interpersonal neurobiology weaves research from these areas into a consilient framework that examines the common findings among independent disciplines and gives us crucial knowledge about how the mind, brain and relationships influence each other to shape who we are and how we develop.
