About this title

Review

HEALING BRAIN is an exciting 'must read' book packed with thought-provoking, creative metaphors and seminal paradigms for all with a medical-psychological appreciation of life processes. It sets the stage for every reader becoming an informed participant in the incipient breakthroughs in psychoneuroimmunology, even anticipating new developments in chaos theory. Every chapter provoked, stimulated, and sharpened my thoughts about my role as a physician-healer as opposed to being a physician-technician.' --Charles F. Stroebel, Ph.D., M.D. "The quality of presentation is excellent, and the information presented represents the current state of thought in this emerging scientific specialty....Professionals as well as college students at all levels will find this volume to be a valuable reference source on the topic." -- Science Books and Films "The quality of presentation is excellent, and the information presented represents the current state of thought in this emerging scientific specialty....Professionals as well as college students at all levels will find this volume to be a valuable reference source on the topic." --"Science Books and Films"

Psychologist Robert Ornstein's wide-ranging and multidisciplinary work has won him awards from more than a dozen organizations, including the American Psychological Association and UNESCO. His pioneering research on the bilateral specialization of the brain has done much to advance our understanding of how we think. He received his bachelor's degree in psychology from City University of New York in 1964 and his Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford University in 1968. His doctoral thesis won the American Institutes for Research Creative Talent Award and was published immediately as a book, On the Experience of Time. Since then he has written or co-written more than twenty other books on the nature of the human mind and brain and their relationship to thought, health and individual and social consciousness, which have sold over six million copies and been translated into a dozen other languages. His textbooks have been used in more than 20,000 university classes. Dr. Ornstein has taught at the University of California Medical Center and Stanford University, and he has lectured at more than 200 colleges and universities in the U.S. and overseas.
