{PRETITLE} Healing Moments in Psychotherapy {POSTTITLE}

I am not a psychiatrist, nor a psychotherapist. In addition, I have not studied the books by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., as all of the contributors to HEALING MOMENTS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY have.

As a result, I felt puzzled by Dr. Siegel's efforts to define and explain certain terminology of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), to say the least. For example, he attributes great importance to chaos and rigidity. Here is his extended discussion of these seemingly key terms:

"Extended chaos can be seen to have unpredictability to the point of dysfunction and an experience of an intrusive disarray of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Extended rigidity includes complete predictability to the point of losing a sense of vitality and spontaneity, and a repetition of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that make an individual unable to adapt" (page 251).

But who is doing what in these two sentences? There is no doer in the subject slot of either of these sentences. In my judgment, these two sentences are not well written.

Here's another passage in which siegel discusses these two key terms:

"From an IPNB perspective, we see disorder, no matter the etiology, as arising from impaired integration. The resultant dysfunction revealed as rigidity or chaos" (page 6).

Evidently, rigidity and chaos are catch-all terms for all kinds of dysfunction. But do these two ways of categorizing dysfunction actually help psychotherapists to better understand dysfunction - better than the single term "dysfunction" by itself would?

By definition, IPNB considers disorder to be the result of impaired integration. As a result, integration is needed to resolve the disorder.
