Norman Doidge summaries

2 summaries on Durar

Norman Doidge is the psychiatrist who brought neuroplasticity, the brain's lifelong ability to rewire itself, to a wide audience, telling the stories of scientists and patients who recovered from strokes, overcame learning difficulties and regained abilities once thought lost for good. Start with The Brain that Changes Itself, which overturns the old belief that the adult brain is fixed and lays the groundwork you will need before moving on to The Brain's Way of Healing and its focus on practices that restore function and ease suffering. These summaries speak most to parents of children who struggle with learning, families caring for someone after a stroke or injury, teachers and health workers, and any professional in the region who wants to keep learning and reshaping their habits well into later life.
