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, she discovered that almost all of the clinical data focused exclusively on males.

In response to the overwhelming need for information on the female mind, she established the first clinic in the country to study and treat women’s brain function - UCSF Women's Mood and Hormone Clinic. The Women's Mood and Hormone Clinic is a unique psychiatric clinic designed to assess and treat women of all ages experiencing disruption of mood, energy, anxiety, sexual function and well-being due to hormonal influences on the brain.  In addition, Dr. Brizendine instructs and supervises residents, fellows and medical students in this Clinic throughout the year, helping young doctors learn more about this important area in women's mental, sexual and physical health.

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.
