"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" is populated by a cast as strange as that of the most fantastic fiction. The subject of this strange and wonderful book is what happens when things go wrong with parts of the brain most of us don't know exist ...Dr Sacks shows the awesome powers of our mind and just how delicately balanced they have to be' - "Sunday Times". 'Who is this book for? Who is it not for? It is for everybody who has felt from time to time that certain twinge of self-identity and sensed how easily, at any moment, one might lose it' - "The Times". 'This is, in the best sense, a serious book. It is, indeed, a wonderful book, by which I mean not only that it is excellent (which it is) but also that it is full of wonder, wonders and wondering. He brings to these often unhappy people understanding, sympathy and respect. Sacks is always learning from his patients, marvelling at them, widening his own understanding and ours' - "Punch".

评分“你知道,我有一个芬兰籍的患者,因为大脑障碍,把身旁的妻子看成帽子,拼命地想往头上戴。还有一个为了治疗癫痫病而被切断胼胝体的英国人,当他用右手扣扣子的同时,左手始终准备解扣子;又或者看到去疗养院探望他的妻子,右手准备拥抱,左手却又放手,真是令人啼笑皆非。记...
评分三年来,身边的人都觉得我疯了。 因为我发疯地读心理学的书。 是么?我不觉得。 疯子从来不觉得自己是疯子。 可是连陪客户(其实更像一位大姐和朋友)吃顿饭, 我都成了善读心理学书籍却不善经营生活的怪异样本, 被大家再次评头论足, 夜半还成为人家QQ签名的动机。 ...
