The Brain That Changes Itself is an informative and readable journey into the history, science and consequences of recent research in neuroplasticity - the brain's incredible ability to change and reorganise itself - by psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and researcher, Norman Doidge. In 2007, he published the best-selling book, The Brain That Changes Itself, and has just written the follow-up, The Brain's Way of Healing. He authored guidelines for the practice of intensive psychotherapy, before working to integrate new discoveries in neuroscience with existing psychiatric, psychological and psychoanalytic knowledge. He started out as a poet and a student of philosophy, before moving into psychiatry. Norman Doidge is a Canadian psychiatrist on the faculty of both the University of Toronto and of Columbia University in New York.
