About the Author

Gerald Hüther, PhD, is the head of the Department of Fundamental Neurobiological Research at the psychiatric clinic of Göttingen, Germany. His research concerns the effects of fear, stress, psychological addiction, and nourishment on the brain. The Compassionate Brain: How Empathy Creates Intelligence was the first of his numerous books to appear in English.

Reviews

“The Compassionate Brain presents readers with a ‘user’s-manual’ for the brain, an evolutionary overview of its development and role in human culture, and a heartfelt plea for its intelligent and merciful use.  This is the first of Hüther’s books to be translated into English.  Let’s hope this fascinating and provocative treatise is not his last.” —Body and Soul
