Dr. Keith Witt is a licensed psychologist and marriage family therapist who has practiced psychotherapy in Santa Barbara for over thirty-five years. He received his BA in psychology with honors from UCSB in 1973, his MA in Counseling Psychology from UCSB in 1975, and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Fielding Institute in 1982. His dissertation exploring somatic psychotherapy was entitled an investigation of the effectiveness of talking plus touching in enhancing health.

Here Keith talks about how he brings an attitude of "caring intent" to almost every practice, project, and activity he engages in, infusing his life with the healing radiance of the Integral vision. He and Jeff also explore the fields of neuroscience and psychotherapy, explaining why a psychotherapist who draws upon neuroscience in the therapeutic setting wins the respect of almost everyone around him, except for the neuroscientists themselves. They go on to discuss Keith's deep commitment to martial arts, which he has been practicing since his late teens, and which has brought him to a radical new understanding of physical, energetic, and spiritual realities.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said that "poor minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, and great minds discuss ideas."  Integral minds, we might add, discuss all three.  In the Integral Profiles series, host Jeff Salzman sits down with some of today's most notable thinkers, teachers, and leaders, discussing the many ways they are catalyzing the Integral vision in their lives, in their hearts, and in their work.  These men and women are collectively defining the leading edge of evolution in today's world, their thoughts and actions actively influencing the shape and scope of tomorrow's possibilities.
