"Siegel tells us that traditional medicalized thinking has led psychotherapists into blind alleys, where mind is seen simply as a mechanical property of brain. We have become over-reliant, he argues, on diagnosis, psychopharmacology and clinical turf wars. Instead, his research suggests that mind emerges from and then turns back around to govern subjective experience, consciousness, information processing and relationships. His therapeutic tool, the Wheel of Awareness shows clinicians how to integrate their client's inner and outer experiences by being mind-full and living mindfully. Siegel is not asking us to become scientists or even masters of physics and mathematics. However, he guides us to think scientifically about behavior, mood and relationships. He does not ask us to surrender our favorite theories and techniques in favor of IPNB. Instead, he explains how its somatic and mindfulness-oriented premises and methods can inform our therapeutic work, regardless of the clinical models and techniques we use. The concepts of differentiation and integration feature prominently in Siegel's work. As our client's brain centers mature and interconnect through application of his "Nine Domains of Integration," clinicians will facilitate their growth into full self-awareness and relationship readiness. Finally, he teaches therapists how their clients may overcome disabling experiences and narratives related to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and trauma affecting what he calls "within-ness" and "between-ness." In the process therapists will assist clients in forming stronger and more effective internal and relational systems. You may have to, but will more than likely want to, watch this interview several times to gain full benefit from a pioneering model of treatment. Like its passionate originator and the brain-mind connection he so admires, IPNB is at the same time incredibly complex, but elegantly simple, clinically straightforward and very useful. By watching this interview, you will: 1. critique misguided principles of diagnosis, assessment and treatment; 2. appreciate the basic tenets of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB); 3. apply IPNB principles of integration to enhance your psychotherapy with a wide range of clients."
