Mindful therapist

Recent scientific research suggests that the most important factors that can contribute to a client's recovery are the therapist's presence and the style in which he or she interacts with the client. The dedication, participation and compassion of the therapist who remains attentive to the self - and to the relationship between the self and the client - can have a truly profound effect on the course of therapy. The Mindful Therapist explains in detail the concept of "mindfulness" and shows how this quality can be cultivated in therapeutic relationships (and beyond). The book is written in a distinctive style - the author addresses the reader directly as a colleague in an informal yet profound discussion about the mind, the brain and interpersonal relationships. Siegel substantiates his claim that the positive outcome of psychotherapy depends on the therapist's present being as a human being with scientific evidence and offers experiential techniques to cultivate the so-called. mindful presence. The exercises described in this book develop "inner sight" - the ability to perceive and influence the flow of energy and information within and between us. And inward looking promotes integration, mindful presence and relational empathy - key aspects of any successful therapy. The mindful therapist will help novice and experienced clinicians alike to better understand the mechanisms of mind-brain interaction and show them how to turn chaos and rigidity into integration and harmony.
