摘要：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's environment.
