I had actually been meaning to write up a longer version of my dad's story in the forum and time had not permitted it. 

Ppart of the point in my telling my dad's story is that helps to approach the Brain holistically - much as it helps to approach the Body holistically.  

My father works with schizophrenics. His therapy for them is based on a combination of summer camp style socialization and therapy for brain injured patients.  In his brochure he likens his program to physical therapy for the brain. 

In all of our cases we should remember the brain's capacity to re-wire itself. 

 We all know that the body is very responsive to exercise and yoga.  We have been learning more about the brain's ability to respond to certain types of exercise as well.
