The Developing Mind
By
SEIGEL, Daniel J.
|
|
What other people do and say to us, especially when we're young, helps shape our later ideas and emotions. Daniel Siegel, who directs the Infant and Preschool Service at UCLA, believes that our relationships with other is directly related to the life within our brains: his work shows how both create our selves, how "human connections shape the neural connections through which the mind emerges." A chapter on memory explains how "neural networks," "engrams" and "retrieval cues" help us form stories about our pasts; a chapter on our attachments to parents and others links current neuroscience to some of the most exciting and useful work in recent clinical psychology. Why can't we remember what we did at age three? Why are some children unusually shy? What is the biochemistry of humiliation, and how can it be "toxic to the developing child's brain"? New and plausible answers to these questions emerge from Siegel's synthesis of neurobiology, research psychology and cognitive science. Siegel explains all the technical terms he uses, and assumes no prior knowledge. And despite his frequently dry and quite detailed prose, his subject, how we become the people we are, deserves to hold many readers spellbound.
