About Jeffery Smith
Human irrationality is baffling, but a fresh take on it opens eyes. Listening to the subconscious mind teaches how evolution and personal history shape the inner mind’s survival-oriented responses in ways that are not always optimal. Psychotherapy makes possible re-writing of inner schemas for enduring change.Dr. Smith has charted the details of this universal mental infrastructure in ways that are compatible with traditional theories while making use of contemporary science and being highly teachable. In peer reviewed writing and an upcoming book,\"How Psychotherapy Works: Navigating the Therapeutic Space with Confidence,\" he shares his knowledge from the point of view of a practicing therapist.Participants in available courses and psychotherapy coaching have enjoyed his deep but down-to-earth style. “Wow, this is really amazing. I love how this organizes the therapeutic enterprise not around anything DSM, but simply around the immediacy of affect, and whether and how it is flowing, or being avoided, or suppressed. I really look forward to using this lens!”As Past President of SEPI, the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration, and Leader of the Psychotherapy Caucus of the American Psychiatric Association, and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College, Dr. Smith has tirelessly forged a place for a modernized understanding of psychotherapy. When we understand what is going on and how the process works, it becomes clear what needs to be done next.Dr. Smith stands ready to share his knowledge with a wide range of audiences. Starting with psychotherapists, he speaks to any group who need or want to understand how subconsciously generated patterns can help or hinder success and happiness in life and how problem patterns can be traded for better ones.
