Abstract:

The growth of neuroscience has increased the potential for bringing brain and mind studies together for a fuller understanding of behavior. Gazzaniga, who has done ground-breaking research on split-brained patients with epilepsy, uses his findings in discussing mind-brain phenomena such as pain, schizophrenia, depression, dreaming, memory, and healing. Some topics such as intelligence and addiction are controversial and will generate debate. The book is insightful, clearly written, and well organized. A good choice for armchair psychologists or anyone with questions about the human condition.
