Synopsis
Increasingly, neurologists are beginning to discover the human brain's remarkable plasticity, its ability to grow new pathways, expand, and revive itself. At the same time, the majority of individual brain scans show severely overexcited areas and underdeveloped regions. Psychiatrist and neurological scientist doctor Daniel G. Amen describes a variety of methods, including cognitive behavior techniques, meditation, and self-hypnosis, by which people can, without the use of drugs, physically alter their own brains, and overcome negative behaviors such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, anger, and depression.

Industry Reviews
Clinical neuroscientist and psychiatrist Amen uses nuclear brain imaging to diagnose and treat behavioral problems. He explains how the brain works, what happens when things go wrong, and how to optimize brain function. Five sections of the brain are discussed, and case studies clearly illustrate possible problems. The accompanying brain-scan photos are difficult to read with an untrained eye. Although Amen provides step-by-step "prescriptions" geared toward optimizing and healing the different sections of the brain ("create a library of wonderful experiences"; "try meditation/self-hypnosis"), 80 percent of the patients in his case studies were given medication to treat their behavioral problems. The audience for this book is ambiguous. While it encourages readers to evaluate themselves and others, it would be more useful to a professional in the social sciences than to the general reader. Buy where self-help or brain-research books are popular. Maria Uzdavinis, Rochester P.L., NH
