Application of Attachment Theory Discussion Group
Christian Herreman will facilitate a discussion on the concept of synchrony within psychotherapy and psychological interventions. The concept of Synchrony has been applied to a range of phenomena, from the micro-level of cells, neurons and genes and intermediate-level of interactive partner's brains to the macro-level of population growth and weather change in addition to the mental realm (Leclère et al, 2014).
In this discussion group I will present synchrony, or the resonant patterning between inner and outer processes, as a key relational concept not only in development but also in psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions. Synchrony, as self-similar resonances, fan out beyond the therapist-patient relationship and into the world (Marks-Tarlow & Shapiro, 2021). Trauma may then be understood as a disruption of the temporo-spatiality nested hierarchy of both the brain and the self... Healing requires social synchrony or relational alignment (Scalabrini et al, 2022).
Concerning the nature of the experience in dyadic face-to-face encounters, our own rhythms of behavior are not completely our "own," because they are influenced by how we are responding to the partner; reciprocally, the way we respond to the partner is influenced by the predictability of our own rhythms of behavior (Beebe et al. 2016).
