'' 'Psychiatrist debunks the left brain/right brain myth,' the headline proclaims. Always interested to learn more, I read on only to discover that the psychiatrist in question is - myself. This puts its finger on the nub of the matter. I don't believe in the left brain/right brain myth. I believe in discovering the truth about hemisphere difference. There can be no question that it would be foolish to believe most of what has passed into popular culture on the topic of hemisphere difference.
And yet it would be just as foolish to believe that therefore there are no important hemisphere differences. There are massively important ones, which lie at the core of what it means to be a human being. It's just that we've been barking up the wrong tree.''
