My sister's father-in-law had been a grouch for as long as anyone could remember. Then he had a stroke on the right side of his brain, and it transformed him. He turned into a much nicer man, and would even tell jokes sometimes -- something he never did before the stroke.
A psychiatrist at Harvard named Fredric Schiffer developed Dual-Brain Psychology. He uses a special pair of glasses to try to determine if his patients have a troubled right side or left side of the brain. He finds that most of his patients have a troubled right side, but that people with PTSD are frequently troubled on the left side.
