Unchain Your Brain
Unchain Your Brain is amazingly comprehensive, interesting to read and provides practical tools for patients and addiction professionals. Over the last five years, I have referred hundreds of patients to the Amen Clinics. I must credit Dr. Amen and his brain imaging for enhancing our ability, to more accurately, diagnose brain disorders that cause craving and addiction. SPECT imaging should ultimately become the standard of care in addiction medicine. --Marvin Rick Sponaugle MD, Board Certified in Addiction Medicine, Founder and Medical Director, Sponaugle Wellness Institute & Addiction Treatment CenterDaniel Amen and David Smith, two distinguished physician pioneers, have written a reader-friendly map of the road to recovery from addictions of all kinds. They begin with a cutting-edge understanding of the addicted brain and end with a step by step family-centered plan for getting well. This book is a treasure of science, respect, wisdom and compassion that deserves a wide readership. --Robert L DuPont, MD, President, Institute for Behavior and Health, Inc., and First Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
