Therapists and counsellors today very much need a theory and practice where the best of the old is conserved yet where new insights are integrated and used effectively. I will seek to show how minds may be changed by blending together the best of affective neuroscience, attachment theory, infant research, psychology, and ethology. I will argue that only when the new is blended with the old will we be able to offer a treatment that can meet the needs of our clients in an effective way.
Gambini (2007) says of Jung: “He followed the silk thread that united the physical and the psychic, he fought to envisage the unity that underlies perceptible diversities and dualities” (p. 364). It is that same silk thread that we must follow as we seek to bring the best of 21st-century thinking and research to bear upon the process of changing minds in therapy.
