About this title

From Library Journal:

Miller discusses the neuropsychological nature of selfhood by examining the cognitive styles and psychological functioning of brain-injured, psychiatric, and normal subjects. He does not imply immutability of behavior but does affirm that the struggle for personality integration is as much biological as psychological and that the best way to trace the intricate relationship between psyche and soma is to focus on cerebral cortical localization. The hemisphericity of emotions is clearly explained, as is the nature of developmental organic cerebral deficits and brain trauma. The author discusses alcoholism and addiction from his neuropsychodynamic point of view and differentiates the asymmetrical hemispheric processing skills of the four major styles of personlity: controlling, guarded, hysterical, and impulsive. For informed readers needing a review of important breakthroughs in neuropsychology.
