Norman Doidge

Norman Doidge is a Canadian psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and psychotherapist, best known for his bestselling book “The Brain That Changes Itself.” In this inspirational book, Doidge explains in detail the groundbreaking new science of Neuroplasticity, which means that the brain is far more malleable than previously thought. The novel goes onto explain how Neuroplasticity works and how humans can use it to improve every area of their lives.

Doidge originally published “The Brain That Changes Itself” in 2007, following years of research and observation. The book inspired a new wave of interest in the power of the brain and our innate ability to personalize and improve learning, memory, and physical and mental challenges. It had a significant impact on the study of the brain, spurring different scientific investigations and revolutions. Since then, Doidge has been a leader in the field of Neuroplasticity, researching and writing about the topic ever since.

Norman Doidge is a recognized authority on the fascinating topic of Neuroplasticity. He is also the author of two other works on the subject, “The Brain’s Way of Healing” and “The Brain’s Way of Repairing Itself.” In both of those books, he explains in more depth the scientific theories behind Neuroplasticity and its implications for the therapy of physical and mental issues.

Doidge has appeared in a variety of media outlets to discuss his work, including magazine articles, op-eds, interviews, and TV segments. He is a frequent guest speaker at academic and scientific conferences. Doidge has made multiple appearances at TED and his 2010 speech, “The New Brain Science,” was particularly well-received.

While Doidge’s main focus has been on Neuroplasticity, he has published extensively on a range of topics related to neuroscience, psychotherapy, and psychoanalytic theory. He is a highly sought-after international speaker, lecturer, and consultant.
