Parenting from the Inside Out

Mindsight

The New Science of Personal Transformation

Daniel J. Siegel, MD

From a pioneer in the field of mental health comes a groundbreaking book on the healing power of "mindsight," the potent skill that allows you to make positive changes in your brain–and in your life. Foreword by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence • Is there a memory that torments you, or an irrational fear you can't shake? • Do you sometimes become unreasonably angry or upset and find it hard to calm down? • Do you ever wonder why you can't stop behaving the way you do, no matter how hard you try? • Are you and your child (or parent, partner, or boss) locked in a seemingly inevitable pattern of conflict? What if you could escape traps like these and live a fuller, richer, happier life? This isn't mere speculation but the result of twenty-five years of careful hands-on clinical work by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. A Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Siegel is one of the revolutionary global innovators in the integration of brain science into the practice of psychotherapy. Using case histories from his practice, he shows how, by following the proper steps, nearly everyone can learn how to focus their attention on the internal world of the mind in a way that will literally change the wiring and architecture of their brain. Through his synthesis of a broad range of scientific research with applications to everyday life, Dr. Siegel has developed novel approaches that have helped hundreds of patients. And now he has written the first book that will help all of us understand the potential we have to create our own lives. Showing us mindsight in action, Dr. Siegel describes • a sixteen-year-old boy with bipolar disorder who uses meditation and other techniques instead of drugs to calm the emotional storms that made him suicidal • a woman paralyzed by anxiety, who uses mindsight to discover, in an unconscious memory of a childhood accident, the source of her dread • a physician–the author himself–who pays attention to his intuition, which he experiences as a "vague, uneasy feeling in my belly, a gnawing restlessness in my heart and my gut," and tracks down a patient who could have gone deaf because of an inaccurately written prescription for an ear infection • a twelve-year-old girl with OCD who learns a meditation that is "like watching myself from outside myself" and, using a form of internal dialogue, is able to stop the compulsive behaviors that have been tormenting her These and many other extraordinary stories illustrate how mindsight can help us master our emotions, heal our relationships, and reach our fullest potential.

The Whole-Brain Child

12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind

Daniel J. Siegel, MD, Tina Payne Bryson

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than 2 million copies in print! • The authors of No-Drama Discipline and The Yes Brain explain the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures in this pioneering, practical book. “Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child’s struggles.”—Harvey Karp, M.D. In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. The “upstairs brain,” which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child’s brain and foster vital growth. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives. “[A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences.”—Kirkus Reviews “Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out [with] compassion.”—The Washington Post “This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child. This is my new baby gift.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other “Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child’s brain working together.”—Parent to Parent

Brainstorm

The Power and Purpose of the Teenage Brain

Daniel J. Siegel MD

In this New York Times–bestselling book, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows parents how to turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their children’s lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important, and oftentimes maddening, ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel's New York Times bestseller Brainstorm, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers’ behavior and relationships. Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores exciting ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their children’s lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide. Brainstorm is a current nominee for a Books for a Better Life award.

The Invention of Solitude

Paul Auster

In his debut memoir, renowned author Paul Auster shares heartfelt and personal meditations on fatherhood that “integrates heart and intellect, sensation and speculation . . . as it relentlessly tries to make sense of the shocks of living” (Newsday) “Moving, delicately perceived portraits of lives and relationships.”—The New York Times Book Review “One day there is life. . . . And then, suddenly, it happens there is death.” The Invention of Solitude, split into two stylistically separate sections, established Paul Auster’s reputation as a major voice in American literature. The first section, “Portrait of an Invisible Man,” explores Auster’s memories and feelings after the death of his father, a distant, undemonstrative, almost cold man. As he attends to his father’s business affairs and sifts through his effects, Auster uncovers a sixty-year-old family murder mystery that sheds light on his father’s elusive character. In “The Book of Memory,” the perspective shifts from Auster’s identity as a son to his role as a father. Through a mosaic of images, coincidences, and associations, the narrator, “A,” contemplates his separation from his son, his dying grandfather, and the solitary nature of storytelling and writing.

Women Offenders: The Challenge of Evidence-based Practice in Correctional and Forensic Mental Health Services

Irina Franke, Caroline Logan, Tammi Walker, Juliane Gerth

Over the last 30 years, the landscape of correctional and forensic mental health services has built up a considerable foundation of evidence-based practices. However, most of the research and clinical applications in this field are predominantly focused on male populations, particularly in critical areas such as risk assessment, risk management, and offending behavior interventions. This gendered focus leaves a significant gap in the application of evidence-based practices tailored specifically to women and girls, who represent a unique yet often overlooked cohort within these services. Women offenders present distinct needs and challenges that require more than a mere adaptation of practices designed for men. Addressing these differences is essential for the effective delivery of therapeutic and other preventive interventions in correctional and forensic mental health settings. Furthermore, as the justice system begins to recognize the needs of non-binary and transgender individuals, the lack of specific evidence-based guidance becomes even more pronounced. Current practices for these groups often rely on clinicians' best estimates rather than on solid, researched frameworks. This Research Topic aims to bridge these gaps by highlighting cutting-edge research and practice in correctional and forensic mental health services tailored to women, girls, and non-binary and transgender individuals. We invite submissions of original research, including quantitative and qualitative studies, single case or small N studies, and systematic reviews that address these populations' unique needs. We encourage international colleagues engaged in this important work to submit proposed titles and summaries for consideration. Suggested topics include particularly: - Risk assessment and management tools and their efficacy in understanding and preventing reoffending among women offenders. - Interventions addressing trauma and mental health issues prevalent among incarcerated women. - Studies on the effectiveness of correctional rehabilitation programs for women. - The intersection of mental health, substance abuse, and offending behavior in women and the implications for treatment approaches. - Managing and supporting non-binary and transgender individuals in a binary correctional system. - The role of gender-responsive approaches in reducing recidivism among female offenders. - Implementation of evidence-based practices for women in forensic mental health settings. - Comparative studies on gender practices for women vs. men. - Case studies highlighting successful interventions with non-binary and transgender offenders. - Systematic reviews of existing literature on gender differences in forensic mental health outcomes.
