This breakthrough book presents, for the first time, the scientific underpinnings of the unconscious. Whereas clinical psychologists embrace the world of the mind and neuroscientists examine the physiology of the brain, neither approach alone can adequately explain the magnificent nuances of this remarkable organ or the realm of the unconscious. Here Dr. Joseph, an internationally recognized expert in the fields of both neuroscience and clinical psychology, weds these two seemingly disparate disciplines into one, generating one of the most astonishing books of our time. He offers compelling stories that show the extent to which humans are unaware of the intense power of our right brains and limbic systems. Although our left brain devises seemingly rational reasons for our choices and behavior, most of us have barely any conception of the stranger that lurks within our right brain. When we humans select a mate or act in a self-defeating manner at work or at home, what forces are truly at play? Why are so many people stunned that they repeatedly end up in destructive relationships? According to Dr. Joseph, the experiences of our childhood are etched onto the very circuitry of our brains and can profoundly influence our decisions on an unconscious level for the rest of our lives. He explicates how our inner Child, Parent, and Adult struggle to gain mastery of our choices. He further demonstrates how these inner forces trigger our defense mechanisms, keeping us in the dark about our true motivations. The revelations of this book will forever change the course of clinical psychology and neuropsychology. By merging clinical psychology and neuroscience, two antagonistic yet complementary disciplines, Dr. Joseph blazes a new path illuminating the most intriguing workings of the deepest recesses of our minds.

The Right Brain and the Unconscious: Discovering the Stranger Within

In the beginning there was not only life but the ability to communicate and eventually to cooperate among the most basic, primeval creatures. In The Naked Neuron Dr. Joseph - an internationally respected neuroscientist and author of the highly praised The Right Brain and the Unconscious: Discovering the Stranger Within - takes us on an intriguing journey through time as he traces the evolution of communication and language from the most primitive single-celled animals to our earliest ancestors to humans today. As he so clearly demonstrates, we are linked to all levels of animals in a common bond of sensing, feeling, and communication. Be it singing wolves, dancing bees, or writhing rock and roll dancers, all communicate a treasure chest of meaning in the absence of the spoken word. Approximately 700 million years ago, a unique type of cell came into being - the neuron. This "naked" neuron, or nerve cell, lacked a protective fatty sheath. Still, it marked a monumental and world altering development, since it would become the building block of the brain. The naked neuron generated a revolutionary change resulting in a greater complexity and subtlety of thought. Dr. Joseph vividly depicts how neurons conferred on early humans advanced powers of mental and sensory acuity, including the gift of remembering one's past and contemplating the future. Although humans possess much of the same ancient brain tissue as our fellow primates, Dr. Joseph reveals to us the singular features of the human brain that have enabled humans uniquely to develop complex, spoken language. He holds us spellbound, revealing that although the new and old brain tissue are couched within the same brain, each often has difficulty understanding the impulses and language of the other. This ground-breaking book draws on Dr. Joseph's brilliant and original research and theories, fusing the latest discoveries made in neuroscience, sociobiology, and anthropology. He illuminates how the languages of th

Is the "Brain Wired for God?" Is there a genetic, neurological, or evolutionary basis for religious belief? These questions and more are answered by one of the pioneers in the field of neuroscience and neuropsychology, Dr.R. Joseph. Dr. Joseph was the first to demonstrate neuroplasticity and recovery of neural function in primates, the first to conclusively demonstrate the effects of hormones on sex differences in cognition, and the first to conclusively demonstrate the role of early environmental influences on learning and memory--researched published in the 1970s and early 1980s. Dr.Joseph also shares the distinction, along with that of Drs. Newberg, Persinger, and a handful of others, of being one of the true pioneers in the field of NeuroTheology. In this amazing book, Dr. Joseph brings to bear over 30 years of expertise in the brain sciences to create one of the most unique books of our time--indeed, some say, it may even be ahead of its time.

The human female is the sexiest female on the planet, and continually advertises her sexual availability as she has evolved luscious swollen breasts and an enlarged derriere and mimics the other sexual signs of primate-sexual-estrus by wearing cosmetics, perfume and rouge. She can sexually exhaust male after male and can experience orgasm after orgasm, often one after another with no lessening of sexual desire. It is her primate heritage; for whereas ancestral estrus-females may have had sex from 20 to 50 times per day and with all the males of her troop, modern woman can have from 20 to 50 orgasms in a matter of hours. Her sexual capacity makes her potentially insatiable, as well as the perfect prostitute and sex slave--sex slavery, according to the United Nations, being the sexual condition of 200 million women world wide. Over the ages her sexuality has been exploited and condemned, and she has been worshipped as sex goddess, the Mother of All, and beaten, hanged, tortured and burned as demoness whore and carnal sin. She is woman: the sexiest female on the planet.

Throughout the ages woman has been worshipped as Madonna and goddess, and vilified as an insatiable demoness whore. Female sexuality is a subject of fascination and fear. And it is precisely because of this "schizophrenic" attitude, and the concept of "sin," that female sexuality has been and remains the most controversial and most misunderstood subject on the planet. In this text, Joseph throws "political correctness" to the wind, and tells it like it is, beginning with the primate and biological origins of female sexuality, and tracing the evolution of her sexuality, and the development of her breasts, buttocks, and unlimited sexual receptivity, over the course of evolutionary history. The story begins with Australopithecus and Homo Habilis, and continues with the evolution of Homo Erectus, female choice, and the domestication of man. Joseph explains the origins of lesbian sexuality and competition between women, including (for some), the uncomfortable fact that women, on average, have more sex, and more sex partners than the "average" man. Sexuality: Female Evolution and Erotica, is based, in part, on Dr. Joseph's pioneering research on the biological, hormonal, environmental, and evolutionary foundations of sex differences and sexuality--research he first began publishing, in esteemed scientific journals in the 1970s. This research includes his most recent scientific monograph, on sexual evolution, which recently appeared in the esteemed scientific journal: the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
