Mapping the Memory
USE YOUR BRAIN books make up a series which deals with common psychological problems � depression, anxiety, panic, addiction and memory disorders. There are countless books on these subjects, of course, but these are different in that they set out to explain the biological basis of the conditions � what the brain itself is doing (or not doing) to produce them, and also goes into more than usual detail about available physical therapies.
Where appropriate, they also provide do-it-yourself Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) This is the only form of �talking� therapy which has been proved to work (psychoanalysis is a wonderful hobby for the rich but there is precious little evidence to suggest that it has ever actually helped anyone). Your chances of being sent to a CBT therapist by your GP are very slim, however, as there are far too few of them. So these books are intended to be practical as well as informative.
The books were first published in 2004 looking like this:
Books:
← Mapping the Memory
→ Mapping the Mind
→ (Exploring) Consciousness
→ Multiplicity
but �Memory� (the only one of the series that I wrote myself) has since been re-issued in this rather more striking jacket:
Amazon, bless �em, are trying to flog you both editions in a single package. Much as I�d appreciate the double Royalities I suggest you resist the offer.
The US edition is under another title altogether, namely "Mapping the Memory" (see cover design at the top of this page).
You can read a bit of "Mapping the Memory" here, or try my memory tips.
