This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third
edition incorporating major advances in the field--gives clinicians,
educators, and students a new understanding of what the mind is, how it
grows, and how to promote healthy development and resilience.
Daniel J. Siegel synthesizes cutting-edge research from multiple
disciplines, revealing the ways in which neural processes are
fundamentally shaped by interpersonal relationships throughout life. And
even when early experiences are not optimal, building deeper connections
to other people and to one's own internal experience remains a powerful
resource for growth. Professors praise the book's utility in courses
from developmental psychology and child development to neuroscience and
counseling.
