Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

The Mindful Brain, by Daniel J. Siegel, is a fine contribution
to understanding mind-body integration. As a psychiatrist with
a long-standing interest in mindfulness, mindful awareness, and
mindful meditation, I found the book extremely informative and
helpful, providing deep insights into the process of mindful
awareness. Techniques involving mindfulness are now relevant
to emerging psychotherapy approaches in our field, making this
book particularly timely and useful.
