Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential. Doidge, an eminent psychiatrist and researcher, was struck by how his patients’ own transformations belied this and set out to explore the new science of neuroplasticity by interviewing both scientific pioneers in neuroscience, and patients who have benefited from neurorehabilitation.
Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. The Brain That Changes Itself is an informative and readable journey into the history, science and consequences of recent research in neuroplasticity - the brains incredible ability to change and reorganise itself - by psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and researcher, Norman Doidge. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character traits changed. Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge, MD, traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity and the people whose lives they've transformed - people whose mental limitations or brain damage were seen as unalterable. Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D.
An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable. An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable.
