Unchain Your Brain is amazingly comprehensive, interesting to read and provides practical tools for patients and addiction professionals. Over the last five years, I have referred hundreds of patients to the Amen Clinics. I must credit Dr. Amen and his brain imaging for enhancing our ability, to more accurately, diagnose brain disorders that cause craving and addiction. SPECT imaging should ultimately become the standard of care in addiction medicine. --Marvin Rick Sponaugle MD, Board Certified in Addiction Medicine, Founder and Medical Director, Sponaugle Wellness Institute & Addiction Treatment Center
