SUPREVISION AND INTERPERSONAL NEUROBIOLOGY – HOW THE SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP CHANGES THE SUPERVISOR AND THE SUPERVISEE

Neki noviji rezultati istraživanja iz područja neuroznanosti upućuju na to da mozak nije nepromjenjiva materija, nego je naš najplastičniji organ podložan promjeni koja je potaknuta interpersonalnom interakcijom. To ga čini socijalnim organom par exellence. Istraživanja iz područja teorije privrženosti sugeriraju da se um može mijenjati i razvijati kroz cijeli život pod utjecajem emocionalnog odnosa. Angažiran emocionalni odnos, bilo da se radi o ljubavnom odnosu, roditeljstvu, prijateljstvu, psihoterapiji ili superviziji, koji u sebi sadrži bazične karakteristike potrebne za razvoj sigurnosti, stvara preduvjete za neuralnu integraciju u mozgu pojedinca. To rezultira fleksibilnom samo-regulacijom u funkcioniranju pojedinaca u odnosu na sebe i na svoju okolinu.Some recent results of the research in the area of neuroscience point out to the fact that brain is not an unchangeable matter, but our most plastic organ that is subject to the change initiated by interpersonal interaction. That makes it a social organ par excellence. Research studies from the area of the attachment theory suggest that mind can change and develop throughout lifetime under the influence of the emotional relationship. Any committed emotional relationship, whether it is a love relationship, parenthood, friendship, psychotherapy or supervision, which contains basic characteristics needed for the development of security, creates prerequisites for neural integration in the brain of an individual. That results in a flexible self-regulation of the functioning of an individual with regard to oneself and one\u27s environment
