“The Mirror and I – A Guide to Self-Treatment” analyses our relationship towards the mirror, through various philosophical, psychological and neuroscientific theories. Various therapeutic interventions have been developed in neuropsychiatric diseases with the mirror as the main therapeutic tool. Moreover, mirror exposure (ME) therapy, mirror meditation and mirror gazing increase the understanding of self-image and self-confidence. These techniques can be adapted to complement any form of psychotherapy. In particular, the technique of daily observing one’s self in the mirror for a few minutes (mirror gazing) is free, simple and therapeutic. Its implementation has benefited profesisonals who additionally care about the quality of self-expression, such as actors, presenters, lawyers, therapists, consultants, managers, politicians, dancers, etc.
