"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".

评分书中描写了患有各种科萨科夫综合症,失认症,失语症,说笑症,图雷特症,第六感,本题感受,等诸多,至少我没有机会接触的那一群病人。 我对他们的处境好奇又怜悯,却不觉得可怕。 他们的有些行为举动在我们“正常人”看来或许特别夸张和不知所云,但是,在他们的内心世界里早...
评分今天的儿童治疗工作坊第一天,Barbara老师讲了一句令我非常震动的话,她说:父母都是不完美的,为人父母的过程充满挣扎和困顿。但有时候我们的这种不完美,反而帮助我们的孩子变得更强壮。 这两年醉心于对精神健康、情绪和感受领域的学习,很多朋友都会问“异常的东西接触多了...
评分起初拿起这本书,很容易想起中文的《天才在左,疯子在右》。不过读完后发觉差别还是很大的,本书的注意力主要放在人类的大脑上,研究各种脑部“病变”引起的行为失常,而且对于这些案例作者都进行了相当有深度的思考和极具人文关怀的发问。而《天》则更像是一系列的猎奇,案例...
