Recent research shows that our brains are sexed just as surely as our bodies and that the differences between the typical male and female brain are in fact much greater than we used to think.
How new findings can improve psychotherapy and educational outcomes.
Recent research shows that our brains are sexed just as surely as our bodies and that the differences between the typical male and female brain are in fact much greater than we used to think.
Understanding these differences and their implications is crucial for improving communication between the sexes, relationships, education, child development, therapeutic outcomes and, in fact, any human endeavour.
This is because the 'sex' of our brain not only influences every aspect of our behaviour (including how we learn, maintain our mental health, relate to and care for others) but how we perceive, and think about, the world around us. These new findings, therefore, shouldn't be ignored.
Indeed, ignorance of the biologically influenced sex differences is potentially damaging our society. In education, for example, we harm both sexes with the gender neutral curriculum, but especially the boys – they get the lowest grades, are diagnosed with the most behavioural disorders, make up 80% of school drop outs and perpetrate 94% of juvenile crime.
Fascinatingly, our brainsex may not necessarily match our physical sex, but understanding the general differences is a vital key to improving male/female relationships – the common cause of so much emotional suffering.
This day is accessible, entertaining and suitable for professionals and anyone interested in discovering the key to positive change in their own interpersonal relationships or understanding their children better.
