'This is a book of miracles. Fascinating... An absorbing compendium
of unlikely recoveries from physical and mental ailments offers
evidence that the brain can heal... brings Oliver Sacks to mind'
Lisa Appignanesi, Observer The Brain's Way of Healing explores the
astonishing advances in the discovery of neuroplasticity, showing
that the brain has its own unique way of healing, only recently
uncovered. Norman Doidge discusses a series of remarkable
recoveries: patients told they would never improve have years of
chronic pain alleviated or damage from debilitating strokes undone,
and symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, brain
injury, autism or learning disorders are reversed. He also shows
how the risk of dementia can be lowered by 60%. Using stories to
present cutting-edge science, Doidge illustrates principles that
everyone can apply to improve their brain's performance.

The Brain's Way of Healing
Thu, 14 Jul 2016 | Review
by: Susan K.
A fascinating read - very accessible and inspiring. Written for the man in the street, but should be of interest to medical professionals. If you are close to anyone suffering from neural-related difficulties, from Parkinsons Disease to concussion, do buy and read this book. There are some clinicians and therapists in SA who are working within the paradigm explained by the author.
