About Dr. Brown
Stuart Brown, M.D. discovered the essential contributions of play to human development by finding its absence in murderers and felony drunken drivers. Dr. Brown’s clinical observations affirmed the importance and need for healthy play throughout the human life cycle. His evaluations of highly creative individuals, culminating in 6,000 play histories, revealed the centrality of playfulness to their success and well-being.
Dr. Brown’s exploration of animal play in the wild, and scholarship investigating the evolution and neuroscience of play behavior has credibly confirmed the clinical observations made early in his career. He founded the National Institute for Play to bring the science of play with its many promises into general cultural consciousness and action. Dr. Stuart Brown has recently authored the book, PLAY, How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul, and has produced many hours of PBS, BBC and National Geographic TV programs, beginning with The Hero’s Journey, the World of Joseph Campbell.
