Daniel J. Siegel, MD, an internationally acclaimed author, award-winning educator, and renowned child psychiatrist, is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine of the University of California, Los Angeles, where he is the founding codirector of the Mindful Awareness Research Center. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a recipient of several honorary fellowships. He is also Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational center devoted to promoting insight, compassion, and empathy in individuals, families, institutions, and communities. Dr. Siegel’s recent books include Parenting from the Inside Out, The Whole-Brain Child, Brainstorm, The Yes Brain, The Power of Showing Up, Mind, and Aware.
"Welcome to an intellectual feast that will also enrich your
emotional life. Siegel is masterful at synthesizing
multidisciplinary knowledge to give us an understanding of the mind
that is both scientifically rigorous and richly imbued with
experiential meaning. The third edition of this classic text
incorporates new findings from thousands of recent studies, while
retaining the fresh excitement of the field of interpersonal
neurobiology that Siegel inaugurated 20 years ago. Indispensable
reading for anyone interested in how the mind emerges from the
interface between brain and interpersonal experience."--Alicia F.
Lieberman, PhD, Irving B. Harris Endowed Chair in Infant Mental
Health and Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of
California, San Francisco
"I can only describe this as a unique and astounding book about
child development that every therapist must have in his or her
library. Siegel is thorough and incredibly informative as he
explains the child's developing social mind and brain. The book is
also very readable."--John M. Gottman, PhD, The Gottman Institute,
Seattle, Washington
"Siegel presents an up-to-the-minute third edition of a book that
is already in wide use. He elucidates the neurological
underpinnings and social processes that have made humans--with our
peculiar questing for intersubjective engagement--so different
emotionally from other apes. No book I know of more clearly lays
out, step by step, how people develop in response to those around
them, and how variable those outcomes can be."--Sarah Blaffer Hrdy,
PhD, Professor Emerita of Anthropology, University of California,
Davis
"This comprehensive book reviews three decades of neuroscience
related to learning with others in the early months, and reveals
new ideas about how the mind grows when a child is thriving.
Siegel, a leader in child and family mental health, generously
shares his expertise. He traces how the infant is committed from
birth to play a part in the life of a community of personalities,
and how our emotions, bodies, and brains move together in search of
kindness and connection."--Colwyn Trevarthen, PhD, FRSE, Professor
Emeritus of Child Psychology and Psychobiology, University of
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
"The importance of Siegel’s work has been reflected in the
interest, enthusiasm, and joy that his interpersonal neurobiology
has brought to people around the world for more than two decades.
The third edition of The Developing Mind presents the ongoing
neuroscientific research that supports the book's initial
hypotheses and expands their applications in psychotherapy,
education, and mindfulness. It offers a window into Siegel's
evolving synthesis of his theories of mind into the core of
interpersonal neurobiology. Readers will find themselves on a
wonderful intellectual and personal journey."--Louis Cozolino, PhD,
Graduate School of Education and Psychology, Pepperdine
University
“An astonishing accomplishment. Somehow, Siegel explains the
amazingly complex human mind to clinicians and researchers alike.
As a child psychologist, I find much of The Developing Mind of
great interest and relevance to my practice, including excellent
material on early attachment and trauma. The third edition has been
completely updated with the most recent research and writings
across multiple disciplines. Students and professionals in diverse
fields will find interesting and useful material in this impressive
work."--Deborah Roth Ledley, PhD, private practice, Plymouth
Meeting and Narberth, Pennsylvania
"I used the second edition in our required social work practice
course for graduate students. My students gained an understanding
of the meaning of 'mind,' how the mind emerges from the brain, and
the way the mind is shaped by interpersonal relationships. I used
the text to demonstrate how an interpersonal neurobiology framework
can be utilized in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of infants,
children, and adolescents. Readings and discussions also helped
students explore aspects of their own identity and subjective
mental processes. Two things that immediately caught my attention
in the third edition are the expanded glossary and the new chapter
on identity development and belonging. I look forward to adopting
the third edition for my class!"--Marian S. Harris, PhD, School of
Social Work and Criminal Justice, University of Washington Tacoma-
