    • Abstract: This article focuses on the importance of social engagement and the behavioral and neurophysiological mechanisms that allow individuals to reduce psychological and physical distance. A model of social engagement derived from the Polyvagal Theory is presented. The model emphasizes phylogeny as an organizing principle and includes the following points: (1) there are well‐defined neural circuits to support social engagement behaviors and the defensive strategies of fight, flight, and… CONTINUE READING
