Integrating The Developing Mind In Psychotherapy

Description

A deep understanding of the nature of the human mind and how it develops across the lifespan can form the scientific foundation for a more effective approach to psychotherapy. Watch this seminar recording and learn how to blend interdisciplinary thinking with practical tools to cultivate a healthy mind. Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., will provide an in depth exploration of interpersonal neurobiology and will provide a framework that offers a discipline-neutral view of how the mind develops within the interactions between relationships and the unfolding of the nervous system across time. You will learn interventions that draw on this scientific foundation and harness the power of the therapeutic relationship to move the individual toward well-being. The amazing realization that the field of mental health does not have a working definition of mind is the starting point for Dr. Siegel s exploration of how to both define a core aspect of the mind and then outline the key features of what comprises a healthy mind. How the mind develops across the lifespan will be the backdrop for viewing the ways in which mental health professionals can find windows of opportunity for catalyzing a more resilient mind, more attuned relationships, and a more integrated brain.  NOTE: The seminar manual is contained on disc #1 in PDF format.
