Of two minds

Most people experience themselves as two-sided: One side seems mature and stable, the other emotional and impulsive. But have you ever wondered if there really are two minds in each of us? If so, do traumatic as well as ordinary experiences affect the way our minds grow and interact? According to Fredric Schiffer, a leading Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, advances in science prove what many of us have always intuited is true: We are of two minds, each one with a different degree of maturity, and each one associated with the left or the right brain. This book illustrates how the interaction of these two minds - whether they sabotage each other or work in harmony - actually determines our psychological nature and ultimately the emotional problems or progress we may experience in life. Just as earlier investigations of the brain and its cognitive functions revolutionized our understanding of how we think, Of Two Minds transforms our understanding of how and why we experience emotional distress and conflicts, and suggests a path to a more harmonious, balanced relationship between our two selves.
