The Developing Mind, First Edition by Daniel J Siegel
This book goes beyond the nature-nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain. Daniel J. Siegel presents a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the emergence of the human mind-the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual. Illuminating how and why neurobiology matters, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in human experience and development across the life span.'Why can't we remember what we did at age three? Why are some children unusually shy? What is the biochemistry of humiliation, and how can it be 'toxic to the developing child's brain'? New and plausible answers to these questions emerge from Siegel's synthesis of neurobiology, research psychology and cognitive science.. His subject-how we become the people we are-deserves to hold many readers spellbound.' - Publishers Weekly
'This is just the right book, on a very hot topic, at just the right time, by just the right author....This is a book to stimulate, illuminate, and drive our understanding of human developmental processes forwards.' - Child Psychology and Psychiatry

'I knew that this book was one I should keep handy when I wanted to improve my understanding of information on which the future science of psychiatry will be based.' - Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
'[A] current, thorough, closely argued text ... One of Siegel's major gifts is for presenting anatomical, neurological, research, and clinical information while still pointing out what remains unknown. He explores infant-parent relationships, emotions, states of mind, and how knowing about them can help one improve one's relationships and capabilities for developing successfully.' - Booklist
Daniel J. Siegel received his medical degree from Harvard University and completed his postgraduate medical education at the University of California, Los Angeles, with training in pediatrics, general adult psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry.
