Book Description

Publication Date: March 1996

Can complex mental states - feeling, thought, memory, fantasy, dreaming - be explained by electro-chemical events in the brain? If so, how? Hobson uses anecdote and example to illustrate his theory that the interplay of the brain's two chemical systems regulates our waking and dreaming lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thought provoking and clearly written book on neurochemist, February 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chemistry of Conscious States: Toward a Unified Model of the Brain and the Mind (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for mental health professionals who have a biopsychosocial perspective of the healing process. Hobson advocates for non-drug interventions which can bring balance to neurochemistry. An extensive discussion of sleep and its importance to health is also very thorough and thought provoking. A must read

5.0 out of 5 stars Brain chemistry, July 12, 2011

Calvin W. Boone - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Chemistry of Conscious States: Toward a Unified Model of the Brain and the Mind (Paperback)

I read this book more than 12 years ago and it is the best book I found on the subject. After reading this book I had a solid understanding on how brain chemisrty influences states of consciousness. After reading this book one may see the connection between states of consciousness and our ability to perform certain task or activities.
