Join Dr. Daniel Siegel as he discusses his latest book, "Brainstorm: The Power and the Purpose of the Teenage Brain," tonight, June 3, 7 p.m. at UCLA's Covel Commons. A clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, and co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, Siegel says that, between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important ways that impact teenagers' behavior and relationships.
Drawing on important new research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, he explores ways in which understanding how the teenage brain functions can help parents -- who tend to approach their children's adolescence with fear and trepidation -- make what is in fact an incredibly positive period of growth, change, and experimentation in their children's lives less lonely and distressing on both sides of the generational divide.
