The Developing Mind, Second Edition: How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are Description
This bestselling book put the field of interpersonal neurobiology on the map for over 100,000 readers. Daniel J. Siegel goes beyond the nature and nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain. He presents a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the emergence of the human mind and the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual. Illuminating how and why neurobiology matters, this book is essential reading for clinicians, educators, researchers, and students interested in promoting healthy development and resilience.

30 years ago as an undergraduate I took neuroscience, and developmental psychology, So many unanswered questions, so much research to do. Fast Forward not only to 2000 ed1 but to 2012 2nd edition, and so much of the story has been filled in. The progress on Attachment Theory, and the knowledge from so many scientist, are foot noted in this excellent book. There are some places where the author extends proposed frameworks but the underlying science makes those proposals cogent.
This book has changed my concept of not only the developing mind, but of a concept of how I think of the mind, brain and experience of relationships.
By A. O. Black
I love reading about the brain but cannot read books that are pretentious or use language that only a Harvard PhD could understand. This is neither. It is quite simply an easy (but thick) book that really puts the brain into perspective and can actually teach you a thing or two or twenty about how the brain develops and what we need to do to make it work better for us. Highly recommend
