What Is the Potent Mind?

The Potent Mind encompasses the work of Jerry H. Gelbart M.D., a Northern California Psychiatrist and author. His focus is on teaching us how to get more out of life. His approach is a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, DBT, and Mindfullness, within a model that incorporates Biological, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual health.

What People are Saying….

“This is a very useful and enjoyable CD for therapists, clients and any of us who want to gain more awareness and control over our lives, and what we think, feel and experience.

“This CD is not about serotonin and endorphins. It is a rich collection of wisdom and insight from cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic theory, existential thought, Buddhism and other religions.

“I recommend it highly.” — O.B. Towery,III, M.D. Psychiatrist
