"A new paradigm for treating chronic illness, pain and unexplained symptoms of all kinds" according to Veronique Mead, MD, MA. In his new book, Norman Doidge describes the role of brain plasticity in healing. This paradigm is helping us recognize how improvement from symptoms of all kinds is not only possible, but explainable, as well as reproducible.Doidge artfully draws us in with people's stories, including the experiences of Dr. Michael Moskowitz, a chronic pain specialist who figured out a way to cure his own increasingly debilitating chronic pain after 1A new paradigm for treating chronic illness, pain and unexplained symptoms of all kinds In his new book, Norman Doidge describes the role of brain plasticity in healing.

A Beacon of Hope My review of "The Brain's Way of Healing" is that of someone who experienced one of the therapies he describes, the Tomatis Method, many years before Norman Doidge's book was published. For me, this is a practical subject, and I hope to shed some light both on this book and to address the natural skepticism that one might has who has not experienced or known someone who has benefited from the type of therapies Dr. Doidge describes.My life is an example of neuroplasticity.

Too hard to tell fact from fiction Paul McIntosh I did not like the way it mixed science with anecdotal evidence without a clear demarcation. In a few sections Doidge went to efforts to do this but in most not. I felt ripped off when I later followed up with some of the things which were presented as fact only to find out the scientific consensus showed they were considered fiction.The book is well written and some of the concepts seem plausible and probably a lot of the science was sound. However it left the reader to do further investigation to work out what was "hard and accepted" science and what was "light on science" but "an interesting
The Brain’s Way of Healing shows that this very sophistication is the source of a unique kind of healing. Doidge explores cases where patients alleviated chronic pain; recovered from debilitating strokes, brain injuries, and learning disorders; overcame attention deficit and learning disorders; and found relief from symptoms of autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy. Now in an updated and expanded paperback edition.Winner of the 2015 Gold Nautilus Award in Science & Cosmology In his groundbreaking work The Brain That Changes Itself, Norman Doidge introduced readers to neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change its own structure and function in response to activity and mental experience. For centuries it was believed that the brain’s complexity prevented recovery from damage or disease. The Brain’s Way of Healing describes natural, noninvasive avenues into the brain provided by the energy around us—in light, sound, vibration, and movement—that can awaken the brain’s own healing capacities without producing unpleasant side effects. As he did so lucidly in T
