VideoRonald D. Siegel, PsyD.
Summary: "In this instructional video, Dr. Ronald D. Siegel demonstrates the principles of mindfulness-based psychotherapy with four different clients experiencing a range of clinical issues. Siegel defines mindfulness as "the awareness of one's unfolding moment-to-moment experience with acceptance." Over the course of four live demonstrations, post-session debriefs, and commentary, you will understand the guiding principles of the approach, including practices you can start using with clients right away. You will see how the somatic elements of mindfulness support treatment for issues ranging from anxiety to chronic pain to childhood trauma; Siegel debriefs with Victor Yalom after every session. Addressing the various types of mindfulness practices available and their respective uses, formal meditation vs. mindfulness, and how mindfulness can inform both our personal lives and our relationship to our clients, Siegel offers much to consider. By watching this video, you will understand what mindfulness is, and how the therapeutic approach differs from formal meditation; discover tools and practices to use with clients exhibiting a range of clinical issues; and learn ways to integrate mindfulness into other therapeutic orientations, either with experiential practices or an overarching stance. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." --Supplied by publisher.
