Editorial Reviews

Review

"Today your [book] arrived and I sat right down and read it, straight through! It has a captivating narrative and lots of good points that need to be made. -- Professor of Human Development at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA

I think what you are doing clearly fills a vacuum that exists in the area of recovery of stroke victims and brain damaged accident victims. If there was this kind of information for caretakers when my friend had a stroke, things might have been different. -- lawyer/health manager

This is a very important book. People need this kind of information and inspiration when they are challenged by Alzheimer's disease, stroke, or neurological illnesses. -- Doctor of Rehabilitative medicine

About the Author

Lynn Lazarus Serper is fascinated by the restorative powers of the brain. She gained first-hand experience of the recovery process when she suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm followed by a cerebral stroke that left her with aphasia when she was forty-eight-years-old. Her recovery allowed her a unique insight into the possibilities for mental rehabilitation, particularly in memory, language and thought.

Upon recovering and after completing her doctoral thesis, she dedicated four years developing The Serper Method, an innovative program of brain exercises. Her method is based upon her personal experience and her work with clients who are challenged by Alzheimer's disease, aphasia, anoxia, or age-related conditions. She has seen remarkable recovery as a result of her program. In addition, clients who have followed the exercises reported the delight of regaining success in their professional and social world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brainstorming:From Brain Trauma to Recovery, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Brainstorming : The Serper Method of Brain Recovery, Regrowth, and Vitality (Paperback)

Ms.L. Lazarus Serper has published a winner. Like Lazarus of the New Testement, she was entombed in her brain by a massive insult. After three long months she opened her eyes and believed she had the power to heal herself. And she did. This remarkable book outlines the journey the truely willful may take to get their brains back...and subsequently their lives.

Brainstorming describes in detail the combination of exercises and prioritizing Ms. Serper practiced using her extensive knowledge of the brain's developmental process to retrain it...and take her life back. Not only did she take her brain back to kindergarden and work forward, she finished the Scientific Doctorate in Human Cognitive Functioning that was in progress when her brain suffered a ruptured brain anuerysm followed by a massive stroke with aphasia(inability to express herself) and right body weakness. She used what she knew of how the brain develops and restores itself to reprogram it with activities she had used in the classroom to assist students with mild to moderate brain dysfunction in re-gaining control by re-patterning the brain's dysfunction to that of function. Author, suvivor, teacher and now doctor Serper explains and outlines the path to brain recovery as real and based upon the Darwinian Principle...that brains, thus their cells can grow with steadfast stiving to survive.

So take your brain to the brainstorming gymnasium and re-pattern information intake, storage, and recall. Who you were may be who you can become. Ms. Serper shows us gives us hope, a scientificly proven plan, and a goal...taking our lives back. I found this book inspirational and it should be on the shelf of every resource library in every hospital in America.

A grateful Reader, RMD
