The Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology is a long-running professional publishing project that brings together research on how the brain, relationships, and mental health intersect. With over 80 volumes published since the mid-1990s, it covers topics including attachment theory, trauma treatment, dissociation, couples therapy, and child development.
Contributors to the series include many prominent figures in neuroscience and psychotherapy. The books range from clinical guides like Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and The Polyvagal Theory to broader explorations such as Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human. While the series is written for professionals, several titles have found a wider readership among anyone interested in how the brain shapes emotional life.
