I first learned of Neuroplasticity in 2005 while researching information to help veterans suffering from PTSD; I read several books (How God Changes the Brain) Andrew Newberg and (Train your Mind Change your Brain) Sharon Begley. I’m very excited to be able to encourage my young students about this new research, whom many have been told that there is no hope for their many issues resulted from abuse and neglect. Neroplasticity is the hope of thier future.

Thanks for the reply. I’m looking forward to the rest of the summaries and your reflections.

I hope to answer them when I write a post reflecting on this and the other research from this symposium. Just briefly, though, on your first point: in other research, PET scans have shown that the brains of abused children are physically different to those of children raised in loving homes. However, after these children have received loving care and counsel over a period of time, their brains show signs of repair and of returning to normal. So it shouldn’t surprise us that talking therapies for depression can also impact a damaged brain in a positive way. I know it seems counter intuitive but if there’s one thing that brain research teaches us to expect, it’s the unexpected. There is much that remains mysterious about the brain and its connections to the body and the soul.

Thanks for another great article. I became an instant fan of you and your work when i discovered the Double Dangers: Maximizing and Minimizing Mental Illness blog and it’s predecessor The problem with “mental illness”. I look forward to more. I have bipolar disorder and GAD and run a support group in Port Elizabeth, South Africa for people with mental illnesses. I will forward this link to everyone i can.

God bless
