This is an audio presentation by Dan Siegel,MD.

Dr. Siegel explores fundamental notions of the mind and mental health by examining the basic functions of the brain within a social environment, offering answers to questions such as why children from the same parents can be so different and why we don't remember experiences of early childhood.

This interdisciplinary view of development examines how mental health and pathology result from the interaction of social experiences and the development of the brain. The application of this integrated framework to attachment, childhood memory, and relationships is profound, and has been described as a "paradigm shift" for clinicians.

Daniel Siegel's presentation is described as a masterful synthesis of intellect and experience and a rare combination of information and humor.
