Synopsis
Reminiscent of Oliver Sacks, Columbia psychiatrist Norman Doidge blends exciting science with a deep sense of humanity while describing case studies that reveal the brain's remarkable ability to heal itself from seemingly catastrophic injuries. The stories of a woman who recovers from a five-year sensation of falling, a mentally retarded woman training herself to think better, and patients recovering from massive strokes are more than inspirational tales--they show a shift in the medical community's understanding of the brain's flexibility. For example, after only two days, a blindfolded patient's brain begins reallocating the "sight" portions of the brain to other sensations. This new awareness of "neuroplasticity" is filled with possibility, since it hints that people have a great capacity to heal and improve their mental condition.
