Daniel Siegel coined the term mindsight to describe the innovative integration of brain science with the practice of psychotherapy. Using interactive examples and case histories from his practice, the author shows how mindsight can be applied to alleviate a range of psychological and interpersonal problems - from anxiety disorders to ingrained patterns of behaviour. He shows us how to observe the working of our minds, allowing us to understand why we think, feel and act the way we do and how, by following the proper steps, we can literally change the wiring and architecture of our brains.
