The Brain That Changes Itself - Norman Doidge, M.D. Dr. Norman Doidge introduces principles we can all use to overcome a number of brain limitations and explores the profound brain implications of the changing brain in an immensely moving book that will permanently alter the way we look at human possibility and human nature. http://www.normandoidge.com/normandoidge/MAIN.html

The book Pink Brain, Blue Brain was cited in the Scientific American article in your Brain Gender Assessment. Google books (see link) may have enough for someone to do a book response without the actual book!

[|Teaching teens with ADD, ADHD & executive function deficits] [|An alternative history of hyperactivity : food additives and the Feingold diet] [|Nowhere to hide : why kids with ADHD and LD hate school and what we can do about it] [|Different learners : identifying, preventing, and treating your children's learning problems] [|Suffer the children : the case against labeling and medicating and an effective alternative] [|The everything parent's guide to ADHD in children] [|The adolescent and adult neuro-diversity handbook] [|The complete idiot's guide to adult ADHD] [|Mrs. Gorski, I think I have the wiggle fidgets]

=Special Hint= Here's how to make almost any fiction book or movie a good candidate for a response:


 * Does it show parent-child relationships? Identify the which of the four parenting styles is present based on the amounts of communication, control, maturity demands, and nurturance (p220-223 of the text). Cite specific examples to back up your __claim__.


 * Does it have a crisis? Identify how the crisis affects each main character according to Marcia's theory of identity achievement (p342-3). Cite specific examples to back up your claim.


 * Does it have people in various gender roles? Identify them as Masculine, Feminine, Androgynous, or Undifferentiated based on the chart on 346-347. Cite specific examples to back up your claim.


 * Does it have children? Look for any evidence that they are developmentally typical according to the theories of Freud, Erickson and Piaget. Are they keeping or breaking rules? Interpret this according to Kohlberg's moral development.


 * Does it have adults? State where each character is in Erickson's stages of development. Identify possible examples of the critical conflicts for that stage.


 * There! Now you are set for anything that has kids, parents, and some kind of crisis.**
