THE SPEAKER
Dr Daniel Siegel is one of the revolutionary global innovators in the integration of brain science into the practice of psychotherapy. Using case histories from his practice, he shows how, by following the proper steps, nearly everyone can learn how to focus their attention on the internal world of the mind in a way that will literally change the wiring and architecture of their brain.
Dr Dan Siegel absolutely gets It-the synthesis of psychotherapy and neuroscience-and translates It into engaging prose, pithy acronyms, and compelling practices.
John C. Norcross, PhD, President, APA Society of Clinical Psychology and Professor of Psychology, University of Scranton
A brilliant look at what it means to do psychotherapy 'with the brain in mind.' Daniel Siegel's bold vision of integration-mind, brain, and relationships-has the power to heal. Take it in slowly and therapy will never seem the same again."
Christopher K. Germer, PhD, Clinical Instructor in Psychology, Harvard Medical School
The internationally renowned Dan Siegel has written a truly wonderful book on the essence and process of psychotherapy. Developing his unique neurophysiological approach to empathy, mindfulness and change, and illuminating the importance of therapist presence, openness, attunement and resonance.

WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS - LONDON
A 2-day seminar with Dr Dan Siegel
A 2-day seminar with Dr Dan Siegel
TUESDAY 26 AND WEDNESDAY 27 APRIL 2011
ABOUT THIS EVENT
As we continue to discover more about neural integration and the deeply social nature of the brain we are moving towards remarkable new insights into the nature of the mind. At this 2-day seminar, which is a unique opportunity to work with Dan Siegel in person, we will explore the properties of psychological well-being and how new scientific insights are providing us with a deeper understanding of why psychotherapy works.
Underpinning Dan Siegel's notion of a healthy mind is his interdisciplinary work on the importance of integration and how it can serve as an organising principle to illuminate the nature of resilience and well-being. He defines integration as the linkage of differentiated parts of a system: when it is present, flexibility and harmony result. When it is absent, chaos or rigidity manifest in the symptoms and syndromes we describe as mental disorders.
Three human experiences have been documented as promoting well-being: secure attachment, mindfulness meditation, and effective psychotherapy. We will explore how these systems share similar neural mechanisms and the implications that this has for both attaining a state of well-being and transforming the brain. At the heart of his presentation, Dan Siegel will describe the mind as an embodied and relational process that regulates flows of energy and information leading to mental health, and show us how this theory can be applied.
We will consider….
- Can we describe a 'healthy mind'?
- What systems underpin psychological well-being?
- What do we understand by 'the embodied brain?'
- The healing power of emotion
- The psychological states of rigidity, chaos and non-integration
- The domains of integration
- Being mind-minded - the significance of neural integration for both therapist and client
- What constitutes effective therapy?
Ample time will be available throughout the seminar to discuss these findings and their clinical implications.
