Yet underlying these subtle differences, Simon Baron-Cohen believes, there is one essential difference, and it affects everything we do: Men have a tendency to analyze and construct systems while women are inclined to empathize. With fresh evidence for these claims, Baron-Cohen explores how these sex differences arise more from biological than cultural causes and shows us how each brain type contributes in various ways to what we think of as &quot;intelligence.&quot; Emphasizing that not all men have the typically &quot;male&quot; brain, which he calls Type &quot;S,&quot; and not all women have the typically female brain (Type &quot;E&quot;), Baron-Cohen explores the cutting-edge research that illuminates our individual differences and explains why a truly &quot;balanced&quot; brain is so rare. Filled with surprising and illuminating case studies, many from Baron-Cohen&#039;s own clinical practice, The Essential Difference moves beyond the stereotypes to elucidate over twenty years of groundbreaking research. From gossip to aggression, Baron-Cohen dissects each brain type and even presents a new theory that autism (as well as its close relative, Asperger&#039;s syndrome) can be understood as an extreme form of the male brain. Smart and engaging, this is the thinking person&#039;s guide to gender difference, a book that promises to change the conversation about-and between-men and women.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simon Baron-Cohenill. ; 23 cm</style></notes><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></label></record></records></xml>
