20032287669Basic Books 2003. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Jacket spine head lightly bumped. 2003 Hard Cover. xiii 271 pp. We all appreciate that there are differences in the typical psychology of men and women. Yet underlying these subtle differences Simon Baron-Cohen believes there is one essential difference and it affects everything we do: Men have a tendency to analyze and construct systems while women are inclined to empathize. With fresh evidence for these claims Baron-Cohen explores how these sex differences arise more from biological than cultural causes and shows us how each brain type contributes in various ways to what we think of as "intelligence." Emphasizing that not all men have the typically "male" brain which he calls Type "S" and not all women have the typically female brain Type "E" Baron-Cohen explores the cutting-edge research that illuminates our individual differences and explains why a truly "balanced" brain is so rare. Filled with surprising and illuminating case studies many from Baron-Cohen's own clinical practice The Essential Difference moves beyond the stereotypes to elucidate over twenty years of groundbreaking research. From gossip to aggression Baron-Cohen dissects each brain type and even presents a new theory that autism as well as its close relative Asperger's syndrome can be understood as an extreme form of the male brain. Smart and engaging this is the thinking person's guide to gender difference a book that promises to change the conversation about-and between-men and women. Basic Books hardcover books
