This edition of Canadian Voices features Dr. Norman Doidge, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and author, delivering the keynote address at a University of Toronto interdisciplinary symposium on "Altered States of Mind" in 2008. The talk focuses on themes from his recent book, The Brain that Changes Itself.

The New York Times reviewed Dr. Doidge's best-selling book by saying that, âThe power of positive thinking finally gains scientific credibility. Mind-bending, miracle-making, reality-busting stuff...with implications for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning and human history.â

This lecture was first broadcast on TV Ontario's Big Ideas programme,on September 6, 2008. For more information on that series, visit tvo.org/bigideas.
