From the Inside Flap:
While doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty member at Harvard, Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in existence on neurology, psychology, and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind, Brizendine established the first clinic in the country to study and treat women's brain function. At the same time, The National Institutes of Health began including female subjects in almost all of its studies for the first time. The result has been an explosion of new data on the female brain in recent years.
In" The Female Brain, Dr. Brizendine distills all of this information in a highly accessible way in order to educate women about their unique brain-body-behavior. For instance, why are women more verbal than men? Why do women remember details of fights that men can't remember at all? Why do women tend to form deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? Dr. Brizendine explores these questions and many others that have stumped the sexes throughout the ages.
This revolutionary book combines two decades of Brizendine's own work, real-life stories from her clinical practice, and all of the latest information from the scientific community at large to provide a truly comprehensive look at the way women's minds work.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Female Brain is a thought-provoking, accessible and fun guide that will help women to better understand themselves and the men in their lives.In this groundbreaking book, Dr Louann Brizendine describes the uniquely flexible structure of the female brain and its constant, dynamic state of change - the key difference that separates it from that of the male - and reveals how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and whom they'll love. She also reveals the neurological explanations behind why.* A woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened.* Thoughts about sex enter a woman's brain perhaps once every couple of days, but mayenter a man's brain up to once every minute.* A woman's brain goes on high alert during pregnancy - and stays that way long after giving birth.* A woman over 50 is more likely to initiate divorce than a man.* Women tend to know what people are feeling, while men can't spot an emotion unless someone cries or threatens them with bodily harm!Accessible, fun and compelling, and based on more than three decades of research, The Female Brain will help women to better understand themselves - and the men in their lives. Describes the flexible structure of the female brain and its constant, dynamic state of change - the key difference that separates it from that of the male - and reveals how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and whom they'll love. This work is based on more than three decades of research. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780553818499
