Since Dr. Brizendine wrote The Female Brain ten years ago the response has been overwhelming.
This New York Times bestseller has been translated into more than thirty languages has sold
nearly a million copies between editions and has most recently inspired a romantic comedy
starring Whitney Cummings and Sofia Vergara. And its profound scientific understanding of the
nature and experience of the female brain continues to guide women as they pass through life
stages to help men better understand the girls and women in their lives and to illuminate the
delicate emotional machinery of a love relationship. Why are women more verbal than men? Why do
women remember details of fights that men can't remember at all? Why do women tend to form
deeper bonds with their female friends than men do with their male counterparts? These and
other questions have stumped both sexes throughout the ages. Now pioneering neuropsychiatrist
Louann Brizendine M.D. brings together the latest findings to show how the unique structure
of the female brain determines how women think what they value how they communicate and who
they love. While doing research as a medical student at Yale and then as a resident and faculty
member at Harvard Louann Brizendine discovered that almost all of the clinical data in
existence on neurology psychology and neurobiology focused exclusively on males. In response
to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind Brizendine established the first
clinic in the country to study and treat women's brain function. In The Female Brain Dr.
Brizendine distills all her findings and the latest information from the scientific community
in a highly accessible book that educates women about their unique brain body behavior. The
result: women will come away from this book knowing that they have a lean mean communicating
machine. Men will develop a serious case of brain envy.
