An integrated state of mindful awareness is crucial to achieving mental health. Daniel J. Siegel, an internationally recognized expert on mindfulness and therapy, reveals practical techniques that enable readers to harness their energies to promote healthy minds within themselves and their clients. He charts the nine integrative functions that emerge from the profoundly interconnecting circuits of the brain, including bodily regulation, attunement, emotional balance, response flexibility, fear extinction, insight, empathy, morality, and intuition.
A practical, direct-immersion, high-emotion, low-techno-speak book, The Mindful Therapist engages readers in a personal and professional journey into the ideas and process of mindful integration that lie at the heart of health and nurturing relationships. .
Más adelante describe el proceso y los elementos en juego del enfoque terapéutico, el cual es aplicable en cualquier corriente. Este trabajo es un arte sobre el si mismo, más que una técnica o un método. Es una filosofía y un proceso de vida. Excelente lectura que en sí misma es terapéutica.
With regard to other aspects of our daily task as therapists I do believe that Dr. Siegel has, once again, writen something easy and clear to be read, of great usefulness if we want to achieve the best of us during our work with clients and why not, out of the office too, a way of living.

He is possibly a little more cardigan wearing Californian hippie for my normal austere taste, but there is no doubt about the value of his work. He brings insight, and thankfully stops short of being 'new age'.
If you want to avoid Deepak Chopra or Eckart Tolle, want your non-fiction to be actual 'non-fiction', but do want to explore mindfulness, intuition, well-being and consciousness then you will be safely tethered to earth and science with Dan Siegal.
