Encyclopedia Of The Human Brain
Covering anatomy,
physiology, neuropsychology, clinical neurology, neuropharmacology,
evolutionary biology, genetics, and behavioral science, this four-volume
encyclopedia contains over 200 peer reviewed signed articles from experts
around the world. The Encyclopedia articles range in size from 5-30 printed
pages each, and contain a definition paragraph, glossary, outline, and
suggested readings, in addition to the body of the article. Lavishly
illustrated, the Encyclopedia includes over 1000 figures, many in full
color. Managing both breadth and depth, the Encyclopedia is a must-have
reference work for life science libraries and researchers investigating the
human brain.
Academic Press's Encyclopedia of the Human Brain is a timely project with a
subject matter of universal interest. In the past decade, enormous strides
have been made in understanding the human brain. The advent of sophisticated
new imaging techniques and new behavioral testing procedures have
revolutionized our understanding of the brain. We know more about the
anatomy, functions, and development of this organ than ever before.
However, much of this current knowledge is dispersed across various
scientific journals and books in a diverse group of specialties: psychology,
neuroscience, medicine, and so on. The Encyclopedia of the Human Brain
places all information in a single source and contains clearly written
summaries of what is known. With focus on a broad-based audience, this work
is written on a level accessible to everyone from the educated layperson to
the academic researcher.
The Editor-in-Chief is V. S. Ramachandran , Professor, Neurosciences Program
and Department of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego. He
is supported by a distinguished group of Editorial Advisors who will lend
their expertise to the project.
The book includes approximately 225 articles. Coverage includes neuroimaging,
neurology, and neuropsychology in discussing anatomy, physiology, and
behavior.

meet the needs of a certain client population. This book reflects the many
components of such diversity, and is a thoroughly comprehensive guide to
accessing and understanding the ideas, theory, research results and clinical
outcomes that are the foundations of this field. Providing a detailed insight
into the field of music therapy from an international perspective, this book
enables the reader to see the complete picture of the multifaceted and
fascinating world that is music therapy.
This unique overview of the field of music therapy is accessible to
professionals and the general public alike. The book comes with a CD and CD-ROM,
which provide musical examples and a guide to further resources.
Integrated Team Working
"Integrated Team Working" describes collaborative multidisciplinary approaches
and demonstrates that they can be valuable methods of music therapy
intervention.The authors explain the development of the music therapist's role
within the multidisciplinary team and discuss the prevalence of collaborative
partnerships between UK music therapists and other professionals such as
occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists,
physiotherapists and other arts therapists. They examine the rationale, purpose
and application of collaborative approaches and explore how and why music
therapists adopt these approaches at differing levels. The book includes case
studies from a variety of clinical settings, which illustrate the creative and
innovative approaches used in transdisciplinary work in the evolving discipline
of music therapy.This theoretical and practical guide offers useful advice for
music therapy students and professionals who wish to employ collaborative
approaches. It will also be helpful for other professionals who are considering
or already working together with music therapists.
Mercedes Pavlicevic, Victoria Wood, "Music Therapy In Children's
Hospices: Jessie's Fund In Action"
The use of music therapy in children's hospices is burgeoning. This moving text
brings together the experiences of eleven music therapists working with children
who are in the final stages of life-limiting illness. The contributors discuss
the adaptation of the therapy to the hospice environment and to the individual
needs of the patient. They explore the key concerns of all practitioners in this
field such as how to empower the patient, how to help bereaved siblings and how
the therapists themselves can find support. The volume takes a holistic approach
to children's hospices with chapters on involving family and staff in sessions
and the creation of a music community. Essential reading for all music
therapists working in palliative care and for health care professionals
considering introducing music as a therapy.
Melody In Music Therapy: A Therapeutic Narrative Analysis by Gudrun
Aldridge, David Aldridge
Melody is thought to be the 'essential core' of music. In the context of music
therapy, looking at how patients develop their own melodies in improvisation can
explain how they find their own voice, determine their position in relation to
the world, and play an important role in how they relate to their
therapist.Gudrun Aldridge and David Aldridge explore the concept of melody
within its historical context and investigate current theories of melody. They
make recommendations for choosing an appropriate method of analysing melodic
improvisation, and utilise case studies to demonstrate these analyses in
practice. They show how the interaction between patient and therapist is
affected by the patient's melodic statements, and how the process of
improvisation offers patients a chance to transform their inner emotions into
externalised expressions."Melody in Music Therapy" is an important addition to
music therapy literature, and will be of interest to music therapists, educators
and students alike, as well as musicologists.
 Music
Therapy, Sensory Integration and the Autistic Child By Dorita S. Berger
Music therapy is well established as a particularly effective way of working
with people with autism - helping them to communicate, ameliorating symptoms of
distress and helping them to cope better with an uncertain and confusing world.
In this groundbreaking book Dorita Berger looks at the reasons why this is so.
In the first part of the book she looks in detail at those characteristics of
autism, especially sensory integration problems, which are amenable to music
therapy. In the second part she shows how, at a neurological level, the purity
of sound itself can not only open a channel for communication but also effect
lasting change in a way not open to other therapeutic modalities. She looks at
the nature of music, and in particular melody, showing how the simplicity of
music can be `understood' by a child with autism in a way that words cannot, and
how this can lead to verbal communication once the patterns are established.
Vignettes throughout the book of music therapy work with children demonstrate
the theory in action, and the last section of the book develops the practical
application with action plans for music therapy interventions particularly
suited for work with children with autism.
Intended primarily for professionals working with children with autism - not
only music therapists but also those from other disciplines looking for
effective interventions - the book will also be of considerable interest to
parents.
 Amelia
Oldfield, "Interactive Music Therapy in Child And Family Psychiatry:
Clinical Practice, Research and Teaching"
This practical book outlines and explains the rationale for using music therapy
in child and family psychiatry. Amerlia Oldfield reflects on current research
methodology and describes characteristics of her own approach to therapy
sessions, including how to start and end the session, how to motivate children
and establish a positive musical dialogue with them, and how to include parents
in the session. She also uses video analysis techniques to assess and advance
the role of the therapist. Individual chapters focus on the results of the
author's research investigations with specific groups such as mothers and young
children, groups of adults with profound difficulties, children with autistic
spectrum disorder or severe physical and mental difficulties, as well as
children without clear diagnosis. Case studies and vignettes supplement these
examples. The author also considers the whole process from the initial referral
for therapy and using psychiatric music therapy for diagnostic assessment to how
to end treatment. This book is accessible to music therapists, psychiatrists,
nurses and occupational therapists working with children and families, as well
as music therapy trainers, their students and academics interested in music
therapy.
 Julie
P. Sutton, "Music, Music Therapy and Trauma"
Music communicates where words fail, and music therapy has been proven to
connect with those who were thought to be unreachable, making it an ideal medium
for working with those who have suffered Psychological trauma. Music, Music
Therapy and Trauma addresses the need for an exploration of current thinking on
music and trauma. With chapters written by many of today's leading specialists
in this area, music and trauma is approached from a wide range of perspectives,
with contributions on the neurology of trauma and music, music and trauma in
general, and social and cultural perspectives on trauma. The authors also
examine contextualizing contemporary classical music and conflict; music and
trauma in areas where there is war, community unrest and violence (Northern
Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, South Africa); and music, trauma and early
development.
Including specific examples and case studies, this book addresses the growing
interest in the effects of trauma and how music therapy can provide a way
through this complex process.
 Marian
Jenkyns, Alison Davies, Eleanor Richards "Music Therapy and Group Work:
Sound Company"
Music Therapy and Group Work brings together the experiences of practitioners
who use group music therapy with diverse client groups in various settings.
Chapters discuss work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages,
demonstrating the wide range of applications for group music therapy: in
assessment for clinical diagnosis; in work with clients who have learning
disabilities, special educational needs, eating disorders or autistic spectrum
conditions; in neurological rehabilitation. Group music therapy is examined from
different theoretical perspectives - including psychoanalytic and Foulkesian
approaches - and in conjunction with art therapy.
The book combines clinical examples with theory to provide a comprehensive
introduction to group music therapy. Practitioners not only of music therapy,
but also those working in related disciplines, will find this to be a useful and
stimulating read.
 Music
Therapy with Children and their Families by Vince Hesketh, Amelia Oldfield,
Claire Flower
In the past, music therapy work with children typically took place in special
schools without the family being present. More recently, music therapy has
become a widespread practice, and this book reflects the variety of settings
within which music therapists are now working with children together with their
families.The contributors are music therapists with experience of working with
children and their families in a range of different environments, such as
schools, hospices, psychiatric units, child development centres and in the
community. They describe their approaches to family work with client groups
including children with autism, learning disabled toddlers, adopted children and
looked after teenagers. Their experiences demonstrate that involving the family
in a child's music therapy can be beneficial for everyone, and that it is
possible to address relationship issues within the family as part of the
treatment.This book will provide useful insight into the growing area of music
therapy with children and their families, and will be valuable for music therapy
professionals and students, as well as other medical and teaching professionals
who work with families.
 Music
Therapy and Traumatic Brain Injury: A Light on a Dark Night by Simon
Gilbertson, David Aldridge
Musical improvisation is an increasingly recognised rehabilitative therapy for
people who have experienced traumatic brain injury initially thought to be
'unreachable' or 'non-responsive'."Music Therapy and Traumatic Brain Injury"
demonstrates how music therapy can be used to attend to the holistic, rather
than purely functional, needs of people affected by severe head trauma. Divided
into three parts, the first section provides an introduction to the effects
brain injury has on a person's livelihood. The second is a comprehensive review
of available literature on the use of music therapy in the neurorehabilitative
setting. The final section examines three case studies designed according to
'therapeutic narrative analysis', an adaptive research method that uses
interviewing and video, which focuses on the unique relationship between the
professional and the patient.This book will give clinicians key notes for
practice and a vision of the integral role music therapy can have in the
successful rehabilitation from brain injury.
 David
Aldridge, "Music Therapy And Neurological Rehabilitation"
The central tenet of this innovative collection is that identity can be regarded
as a performance, achieved through and in dialogue with others. The authors show
that where neuro-degenerative disease restricts movement, communication and
thought processes and impairs the sense of self, music therapy is an effective
intervention in neurological rehabilitation, successfully restoring the
performance of identity within which clients can recognise themselves. It can
also aid rehabilitation of clients affected by dementia, traumatic brain injury,
and multiple sclerosis, among other neuro-generative diseases. "Music Therapy
and Neurological Rehabilitation" is an authoritative and comprehensive text that
will be of interest to practising music therapists, students and academics in
the field.
 Johannes
Th Eschen, "Analytical Music Therapy"
This book brings together the professional experiences of eminent analytical
music therapists from Europe and the USA. The book examines the origins and
theory of AMT (including a contribution on the subject from Mary Priestley),
before exploring its uses in various contexts. Chapters cover AMT in counseling
and rehabilitation, with adults and children and with nonverbal clients. A
concluding section discusses aspects of the training of music therapy students.
Written by experienced and highly regarded analytic music therapists, and edited
by Johannes Th. Eschen, one of the first ever AMT students, this book will be of
interest to practitioners in many branches of music therapy and related
disciplines.
 Tessa
Watson - Music Therapy with Adults with Learning Disabilities
Music Therapy with Adults with Learning Disabilities explores how music
therapists work in partnership with people with learning disabilities to
encourage independence and empowerment and to address a wide variety of everyday
issues and difficulties.
Comprehensive and wide-ranging, this book describes in detail the role and work
of the music therapist with adults with learning disabilities. Many clinical
examples are used, including casework with people with autism, asperger’s
syndrome, profound and multiple learning disabilities and a dual diagnosis of
learning disability and mental health problems. The book also explores issues of
team work and collaborative working, considering how music therapists and their
colleagues can best work together. The chapters are grouped into four sections;
an introduction to current music therapy work and policy in the area, clinical
work with individuals, clinical work with groups, and collaborative and team
work. Guidelines for good practice are also provided.
This is a thought-provoking and topical text for all those involved in work with
adults with learning disabilities; it is essential reading for music therapists
and fellow professionals, carers, policy makers and students.
 Benjamin
D. Koen, "Beyond the Roof of the World: Music, Prayer, and Healing in the
Pamir Mountains"
Western medicine has conventionally separated music, science, and religion into
distinct entities, yet traditional cultures throughout the world have always
viewed music as a bridge that connects and balances the physical with the
spiritual to promote health and healing. As people in even the most
technologically advanced nations across the globe struggle with obtaining
affordable and reliable healthcare, more and more people are now turning to
these ancient cultural practices of holistic and ICAM healing (integrative,
complementary, and alternative medicine).
Beyond the Roof of the World convincingly demonstrates the relevance of medical
ethnomusicology in light of the globally spreading ICAM approaches to health and
healing. Revealing the Western separation of healing from spiritual and musical
practices as a culturally determined phenomenon, Dr. Benjamin D. Koen confirms
their underlying unity. In a place poetically known as the Roof of the World,
the culture found within the towering Pamir Mountains of Badakhshan Tajikistan
serves as the paradigm of ICAM healing practices. Koen's extensive research and
immersion into the Badakhshani culture provides a well-balanced "insider"
perspective while maintaining an "observer's" view, as he effectively bridges
the widespread gaps between ethnomusicology, health science, and music therapy.
Moving beyond the paradigm of the Pamir Mountains to reach out to cultures
across the globe, Koen infuses scholarship with lived experience and applied
practice as he shows spirituality and musicality to be intimately intertwined
with one's physical life, health and healing.
 Robin
Rio - Connecting Through Music with People with Dementia: A Guide for
Caregivers
For people suffering with dementia, the world can become a lonely and isolated
place. Music has long been a vital instrument in transcending cognitive issues;
bringing people together, and allowing a person to live in the moment. This
user-friendly book demonstrates how even simple sounds and movements can engage
people with dementia, promoting relaxation and enjoyment. All that's needed to
succeed is a love of music, and a desire to gain greater communication and more
meaningful interaction with dementia sufferers. Even those who have lost many
social and intellectual capabilities will still enjoy vocal and rhythmic melody,
and be able to involve themselves in musical dialogue. Suitable for students or
entry level professionals in music therapy, nursing and care-related fields,
"Connecting through Music with People with Dementia" will also appeal to trained
musicians interested in working in healthcare.

and Neurofeedback, Second Edition: Advanced Theory
and Applications"
The study of Quantitative EEGs and Neurofeedback offer a
window into brain physiology and function via computer
and statistical analyses, suggesting innovative
approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety,
mood and behavior. Resources for understanding what QEEG
and Neurofeedback is, how they are used, and to what
disorders and patients they can be applied are scarce,
and this volume serves as an ideal tool for clinical
researchers and practicing clinicians, providing a broad
overview of the most interesting topics relating to the
techniques. The revised coverage of advancements, new
applications (e.g. Aspberger's, music therapy, LORETA,
etc.), and combinations of prior approaches make the
second edition a necessary companion to the first. The
top scholars in the field have been enlisted and
contributions will offer both the breadth needed for an
introductory scholar and the depth desired by a clinical
professional.

Mind Wide
Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday
Life
Given the opportunity to watch the inner workings of his
own brain, Steven Johnson jumps at the chance. He
reveals the results in Mind Wide Open, an engaging and
personal account of his foray into edgy brain science.
In the 21st century, Johnson observes, we have become
used to ideas such as "adrenaline rushes" and "serotonin
levels," without really recognizing that complex
neurobiology has become a commonplace thing to talk
about. He sees recent laboratory revelations about the
brain as crucial for understanding ourselves and our
psyches in new, post-Freudian ways. Readers shy about
slapping electrodes on their own temples can get a
vicarious scientific thrill as Johnson tries out empathy
tests, neurofeedback, and fMRI scans. The results paint
a distinct picture of the author, and uncover general
brain secrets at the same time. Memory, fear, love,
alertness--all the multitude of states housed in our
brains are shown to be the results of chemical and
electrical interactions constantly fed and changed by
input from our senses. Mind Wide Open both satisfies
curiosity and provokes more questions, leaving readers
wondering about their own gray matter. --Therese

David Vernon, "Human Potential: Exploring
Techniques Used to Enhance Human Performance"
Throughout time, people have explored the ways in which
they can improve aspects of their performance. This book
examines a range of techniques that are intended to
improve some aspect of performance, and examines how
effective they are.
Throughout time, people have explored the ways in which
they can improve
some aspect of their performance. Such attempts are more
visible today, with
many working to gain an ‘edge’ on their performance,
whether it is to learn a
new language, improve memory or increase golf handicaps.
This book examines
a range of techniques that are intended to help improve
some aspect of
performance, and examines how well they are able to
achieve this.
The various performance-enhancing techniques available
can be divided
into those where the individual remains passive
(receiving a message, suggestion
or stimulus) and those where the individual needs to
take a more active
approach. Human Potential looks at a range of techniques
within each of
these categories to provide the reader with a sense of
the traditional as well
as the more contemporary approaches used to enhance
human performance.
The techniques covered include hypnosis, sleep learning,
subliminal training
and audio and visual cortical entrainment, as well as
meditation, mnemonics,
speed reading, biofeedback, neurofeedback and mental
imagery practice.
This is the first time such a broad range of techniques
has been brought
together to be assessed in terms of effectiveness. It
will be useful to all psychology
and sports science students, practising psychologists,
life coaches and
anyone else interested in finding out about the
effectiveness of performance
enhancement techniques.
David Vernon is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at
Canterbury Christ Church
University. He has a wide range of research interests
covering a variety of
performance-enhancing techniques, in particular the use
of neurofeedback to
alter brain activity as a mechanism for improving
cognition and behavior.
Event-Related Dynamics of Brain Oscillations
Research on brain oscillations and event-related
electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related (de-)
synchronization (ERD/ERS) in particular became a rapidly
growing field in the last decades.
Research on brain oscillations and event-related
electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related (de-)
synchronization (ERD/ERS) in particular became a rapidly
growing field in the last decades. A large number of
laboratories worldwide are using ERD/ERS to study
cognitive and motor brain function and the importance of
this tool in neurocognitive research is widely
recognized. This book is a summary of the most current
research, methods, and applications of the study of
event-related dynamics of brain oscillations. Facing the
rapid progress in this field, it brings together, on the
one side, fundamental questions of the underlying
events, which still remain to be clarified and, on the
other side, some of the most significant novel findings,
which point to the key topics for future research. In
particular, the chapters of this volume cover the
neurophysiological fundamentals and models (Section I),
new methodological approaches (Section II), current ERD
research related to cognitive (Section III) and
sensorimotor brain function (Section IV), invasive
approaches and clinical applications (Section V), and
novel developments of EEG-based brain-computer
interfaces and neurofeedback (Section IV).
Quantitative EEG, Event-Related Potentials and
Neurotherapy
While the brain is ruled to a large extent by chemical
neurotransmitters, it is also a bioelectric organ. The
collective study of Quantitative Electroencephalographs
(QEEG ? the conversion of brainwaves to digital form to
allow for comparison between neurologically normative
and dysfunctional individuals), Event Related Potentials
(ERPs - electrophysiological response to stimulus) and
Neurotherapy (the process of actually retraining brain
processes to) offers a window into brain physiology and
function via computer and statistical analyses of
traditional EEG patterns, suggesting innovative
approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety,
mood and behavior.
The volume provides detailed description of the various
EEG rhythms and ERPs, the conventional analytic methods
such as spectral analysis, and the emerging method
utilizing QEEG and ERPs. This research is then related
back to practice and all existing approaches in the
field of Neurotherapy - conventional EEG-based
neurofeedback, brain-computer interface, transcranial
Direct Current Stimulation, and Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation ? are covered in full. Additionally,
software for EEG analysis is provided on CD so that the
theory can be practically utilized on the spot, and a
database of the EEG algorithms described in the book can
be combined with algorithms uploaded by the user in
order to compare dysfunctional and normative data.
While it does not offer the breadth provided by an
edited work, this volume does provide a level of depth
and detail that a single author can deliver, as well as
giving readers insight into the personl theories of one
of the preeminent leaders in the field.
A Symphony in the Brain: The Evolution of the New
Brain Wave Biofeedback by Jim Robbins
Can you fix your own neurologic problems without
resorting to drugs? Science writer Jim Robbins suggests
that some such conditions--like epilepsy, autism, and
depression--could yield to a recently developed
technique called neurofeedback. His book A Symphony in
the Brain describes the process, its evolution from the
1970s fad of biofeedback, its practitioners, and some of
its success stories. Using computers to quickly provide
information on real-time EEG, practitioners train
patients to control global or local brain states--or so
the theory goes. Unfortunately for its proponents, there
are still no rigorous research data showing conclusive
results. Robbins makes a good case that the lack of
research is due more to scientific turf battles and a
drug-dependent medical establishment than to any fault
of neurofeedback. Some of the case studies he explores,
of children and adults brought out of comas or trained
to reduce their epileptic seizure frequency, suggest
that we ought to look more deeply and rigorously into
the technique. Whether it works can only be determined
by controlled studies, which may be forthcoming. In the
meantime, Robbins provides contact lists and additional
research information for interested readers, as well as
the inspiration to pursue a potentially life-saving
treatment.
Biofeedback (Gray Matter)
The human mind is a learning machine. We are constantly taking in new
information, processing that information, and making decisions based on what
we learn. Biofeedback is a process that teaches the mind so that it can
learn to control the body. This book is a comprehensive look into this
holistic type of learning; it explores how moods, muscles, nerves, and brain
waves can be controlled by the mind through biofeedback treatment.
"Biofeedback" also examines the discussions surrounding this topic. Though a
lot of research has gone into exploring the mechanisms of biofeedback,
science cannot explain exactly how the mind learns, so it cannot explain
exactly how biofeedback works, either. And for this reason, biofeedback has
long been questioned by traditional medicine.
Mark S. Schwartz PhD, Frank Andrasik PhD, "Biofeedback, Third Edition: A

Change Your Brain, Change Your Body: Use Your Brain to Get and Keep the
Body You Have Always Wanted By Daniel G. Amen
Fifty percent of the brain is dedicated to vision.
How you look plays a large role in how you feel. Both matter
to your success at work and in your relationships.
It is not just vanity, it is about health.
To look and feel your best, you must first think about and
optimize your brain.
I live in Newport Beach, California. We have often been called the plastic
society, because we have more plastic walking around our streets and beaches
than almost anywhere else in the world. One of my friends says that God will
never flood Newport Beach because all of the women will float. Most people
throughout the world, not just in Newport Beach, care more about their
faces, their boobs, their bellies, their butts, and their abs than they do
their brains. But it is your brain that is the key to having the face, the
breasts, the belly, the butt, the abs, and the overall health you have
always wanted; and it is brain dysfunction, in large part, that ruins our
bodies and causes premature aging.
It is your brain that decides to get you out of bed in the morning to
exercise, to give you a stronger, leaner body, or to cause you to hit the
snooze button and procrastinate your workout. It is your brain that pushes
you away from the table telling you that you have had enough, or that gives
you permission to have the second bowl of Rocky Road ice cream, making you
look and feel like a blob. It is your brain that manages the stress in your
life and relaxes you so that you look vibrant, or, when left unchecked,
sends stress signals to the rest of your body and wrinkles your skin. And it
is your brain that turns away cigarettes, too much caffeine, and alcohol,
helping you look and feel healthy, or that gives you permission to smoke, to
have that third cup of coffee, or to drink that third glass of wine, thus
making every system in your body look and feel older.
Your brain is the command and control center of your body. If you want a
better body, the first place to ALWAYS start is by having a better brain.
My interest in the brain-body connection started more than thirty years ago.
As a college student, my thinking was influenced by the work of O. Carl
Simonton, the oncologist who taught people to use visualization to boost
their immune system in order to fight cancer. In medical school, I became
trained in the use of medical hypnosis and began to see the powerful effect
it can have on healing the body. I personally saw that it was helpful for
treating headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, pain, weight loss, insomnia, a
Parkinsonian tremor, and heart arrhythmias. I then became trained in a
treatment technique called biofeedback and found that when I taught my
patients to use their brains to warm their hands or breathe with their
bellies, their whole body went into a relaxed state, which was helpful in
decreasing stress, lowering blood pressure, and combating headaches.

In this breakthrough bestseller, you'll see scientific evidence that your
anxiety, depression, anger, obsessiveness, or impulsiveness could be related
to how specific structures in your brain work. You're not stuck with the
brain you're born with.
In this age of do-it-yourself health care (heck, if the doctor only sees you
for 10 minutes each visit, what other options are there?), Change Your
Brain, Change Your Life fits in perfectly. Filled with "brain prescriptions"
(among them cognitive exercises and nutritional advice) that are geared
toward readers who've experienced anxiety, depression, impulsiveness,
excessive anger or worry, and obsessive behavior, Change Your Brain, Change
Your Life milks the mind-body connection for all it's worth.
Written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has also authored a book on
attention deficit disorder, Change Your Brain contains dozens of brain scans
of patients with various neurological problems, from caffeine, nicotine, and
heroin addiction to manic-depression to epilepsy. These scans, often showing
large gaps in neurological activity or areas of extreme overactivity, are
downright frightening to look at, and Dr. Amen should know better than to
resort to such scare tactics. But he should also be commended for advocating
natural remedies, including deep breathing, guided imagery, meditation,
self-hypnosis, and biofeedback for treating disorders that are so frequently
dealt with by prescription only.
