The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science[1] is a book on neuroplasticity by psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Norman Doidge.
The New York Times gave a mostly positive review of the book.[2]
In contrast The International Journal of Psychoanalysis published a negative book review essay critical of Doidge's writings. The review claims that neuroscience is irrelevant to the study of psychoanalysis.[3]
