About Dr Doidge:
Dr. Norman Doidge is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, researcher, author, essayist and poet.

His recent book, “The Brain that Changes Itself” has been on the bestseller lists for many months in Australia and overseas. The inspiration for “The Brain that Changes Itself” was Dr Doidge's conviction that neuroplasticity represents the single most important new idea in our understanding of the human brain in hundreds of years, with immense consequences for our understanding of human nature, human and therapeutic possibilities, and human culture.

Dr Doidge is on the Research Faculty at Columbia University’s Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, in New York, and the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychiatry. He has written over 170 articles, both scientific and popular, is a frequent TV and radio commentator and keynote speaker.
