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.
