Sergey Daragan’S Book—Social Synaptic Plasticity

Why do some groups fall apart under the pressure of a crisis, while others grow stronger? What makes a community resilient? How do support networks emerge? How do human connections help overcome the consequences of wars, social upheavals, migration, and collective trauma? “Social Synaptic Plasticity” is a book by Sergey Daragan that offers an original model for understanding how human communities form, adapt, and develop. The book presents: • the author’s theory of social synaptic plasticity; • practical tools for working with groups; • methods for increasing community resilience; • techniques for creating support networks; • experience working with people in times of crisis and social change. The book will be useful to social workers, psychologists, educators, volunteers, social project leaders, NGO specialists, researchers of social processes, and anyone who works with people. This is not just a guidebook. It is an attempt to answer one of the most pressing questions of our time: What helps people remain human when the world they know ceases to exist?
