In this Webinar, neuropsychiatrist and author, Dan Siegel, M.D., will explore these findings and focus on the interrogatives of the mind-the Who, What, Where, When, How, and even Why of the mind-of your mind, of what the human mind may actually be about.

Without knowing what mind is, how can we then say what a healthy mind might be and how we could go about developing one for ourselves and for others? The Mindful Therapist helps clinicians, both new and experienced in the healing arts, to dive deeply into how the mind interacts with the brain, and how disorder and rigidity can be transformed into integration and harmony.Imagine waking up to the realization that the fields that focus on the mind-from mental health and education to psychiatry and psychology-do not actually define what the mind actually is. Mindsight promotes integration, a mindful presence, and the nurturing of empathic relationships - all of which are key to effective therapy. Exercises offered throughout the book promote the development of 'mindsight' - our ability to sense and shape the flow of energy and information within and between each of us. Building on Siegel's influential work, The Mindful Brain, this book is written in a unique, relational style in which the author speaks directly to the reader as a fellow professional - an informal yet in-depth conceptual discussion about the mind, brain, and human relations.īecause creating positive outcomes in psychotherapy hinges on the presence of the clinician as a person, here Siegel explores the underlying science beneath this assertion and offers experiential strategies to cultivate mindful presence in the therapist's own life. The Mindful Therapist is a deep exploration of what it means to be mindful and how to cultivate mindfulness in the therapeutic relationship. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self - and how that self relates to the client - is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.

Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client's healing process.
