I saw that you do not have The Science of Parenting by Margot Sunderland in your bibliography. I think it is a very good book, and I have read it several times. I am the mother of 4 boys and find the scientific approach to looking at children’s brain development as key to understanding them as people.

Thank you for the extensive bibiliography.
Bowen Family Systems Theory offers a broad perspective from which to observe phenomena in the brain.
Among the many advantages to thinking about the organ that we call the brain is that it helps to objectify relationships, which quickly become “sticky”. A person who does so, is then freer to become a self. To the extent that one becomes freer, others do as well. When one says “brain”, what that word is intended to convey is not a locus of activity, but a vast and complex set of relationships which can be adjusted in various reliable ways. Watching a child develop is all about observing the development of relationships that, while invisible, have a concrete and tangible impact on the world in which they exist.

A colleague just turned me on to your site, which is fantastic, as you must surely know! So glad to see my pals JCP and Bruce Lipton listed, as well as Bruce Perry, with whom I appear in a fairly recent documentary on trauma, relationships and the brain. I’m curious about your choice of Sharon Begley’s book (which I admittedly haven’t read) over Jeff Schwartz’s book (which I’m currently reading, and am SO loving)? Hopefully within a couple years you’ll be able (and inclined) to add my book, “Raising Generation PAX: A Science of Peace & Possibility.”
Speaking as an educator, and colleague, this is one of the best , well rounded, reader friendly bibliographies for a variety of groups. I have begun assigning it to students, mothers, caretakers, sharing it with fellow somatic trainers, professors, and other mfts just interested in developmental psychotherapy, attachment and neurobiology. Thanks for all the work you have put into assembling this so far. I would love to work together sometime perhaps in an ongoing consulting peer supervision group? I am in the Bay area most of the time now. Natalie
I agree with Eve! The Science of Parenting is a book I think it is a fabulous book!
I am looking forward to your upcoming book as well. It sounds terrific!
In the future when I do brain development traingings and workshops I will refer participants to your list.
Thank you for your great resource,
Deborah
Dr. Brady,
First off, I really appreciate this incredible site. My friend Wes Eades recommended it, and I am glad he did. Second, thanks for the bibliography, I think that it will help me with both my dissertation and my child rearing (not listed in order of importance!). Finally, what about “Emotions: An Essay in Moral Psychology” by Robert Roberts. It is more about the emotions of adults that a developmental approach, but I still think that it would make an excellent addition to your list.

If wisdom is in the frontal cortex region, what happens to a child with diagnosed ADHD?
what can we do to pinpoint issues with processing and
anxiety as a result of delayed brain function. isn’t his very “will” frustrated?
Surprised i don’t see “The End of Stress As We Know It” by Bruce McEwen and Elizabeth Norton Lasley that i seem to recall you had said changed your life.
also “The Mind and the Brain” by Jeffrey Schwartz on Neuroplasticity.
I read Making a good brain great & it was fascinating. I can’t wait to check out some of the others about the human brain.
I would like to purchase some of Mark Brady’s book. How can I do that?
Hi
I would add Origins: How the First Nine Months Shape the Rest of Our Lives by Annie Paul Murphy (2011) and Scared Sick: The Role of Early Childhood Trauma in Adult Disease by Robin Karr-Morse and Meredith Whiley (2012)
Thank you for your thought-provoking site. You may be interested in “The Master and His Emissary” by Iain McGilchrist. http://www.iainmcgilchrist.com/brief_description.asp
