Psychiatrist Jeffrey Schwartz on the importance of The Spiritual Brain

The Spiritual Brain is a very important book. It clearly explains

non-materialist neuroscience in simple terms appropriate for the lay

reader, while building on and extending work that Sharon Begley and I

began in The Mind and The Brain, and work that Mario and I

collaborated on in academic publications.

Of utmost importance is the fact that The Spiritual Brain clearly

shows that non-materialist neuroscience is not simply a controversial

view held by some neuroscientists. It is a coherent and theoretically

very well-grounded perspective that can play a critical role in

developing more effective treatments for many medical and

psychological disorders. Further, it creates natural links between

physical and spiritual health by stressing the need for the active

participation of people in their own treatment planning and

implementation.

The Spiritual Brain greatly contributes to the on-going paradigm shift

that is revolutionizing our understanding of the relationship of the

spirit, the mind, and the brain in the 21st Century.

Author of Brain Lock and The Mind and The Brain

I love the way Dr. Schwartz focuses on the positive developments that

Mario and I discuss. Many fine books trash materialism. But so what?

Where do you go if you are not a materialist? We provide examples of

non-materialist neuroscience in action, as he notes, and those

examples may have key implications for treatment of currently

intractable or difficult disorders.

Here are some articles and interviews with him:
