Brian McVeigh has taken the insights of the unsung genius of 20th Century Psychology, Julian Jaynes, and brilliantly applied them to improving our mental well-being. Conscious interiority is the deep mechanism of self-healing and the secret of successful therapy. A must read for clinical therapists and positive psychologists. * Martin E. P. Seligman, Director, Positive Psychology Center, and Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania * I have never read anything quite like this. Brian J. McVeigh takes on the daunting task of integrating a vast treasure trove of resources drawn from positive psychotherapy, common factors of therapeutic change, and a Jaynesian theoretical paradigm. He provides a guide to psychotherapists and their patients to help them explore, understand, and manage real life concerns as they navigate an even murkier internal landscape. * Al Pfadt, PhD, Retired Research Scientist, New York State Institute for Basic Research * The Self-Healing Mind coherently joins elements of healing and well-being that have long been considered disparate. By integrating the evolution of consciousness with an expansive and multicultural range of psychotherapeutic strategies, McVeigh has created a refreshingly accessible, comprehensive, and practical model for helping people help themselves. * Laurence Irwin Sugarman, M.D., F.A.A.P., A.B.M.H., Rochester, New York *
