TROUBLE IN MIND: STORIES FROM A NEURO-PSYCHOLOGIST’S CASEBOOK

Book ID/图书代码： 11980513B59838

English Summary/英文概要： In Trouble in Mind, neuro-psychologist Jenni Ogden, author of Fractured Minds, transports the reader into the world of some of her most memorable neurological patients as she explores with compassion, insight, and vivid description the human side of brain damage. These are tales of patients who, as the result of stroke, brain tumor, car crash, or neurological disease, begin thinking and behaving strangely, and with their loved ones’ support embark on the long journey to recovery, acceptance of disability and sometimes, death. There is Luke, the gang member who loses his speech but finds he can still sing his favorite blues number ‘Trouble in Mind’, and HM, who teaches the world about memory and becomes the most studied single case in medical history. You will meet Julian, who misplaces his internal map of the human body, and Melody, a singer who risks losing her song when she undergoes brain surgery to cure her epilepsy. Then there is Kim with a severe head injury, and Sophie who has just enough time to put her house in order before Alzheimer’s dementia steals her insight. For these and the many other patients whose stories are told in this book, the struggle to understand their disordered minds and disobedient bodies takes extraordinary courage, determination, and patience. For health professionals and researchers working with these patients, the ethical and emotional challenges can be as demanding as the intellectual and treatment decisions they make daily.

Trouble In Mind is written in an accessible narrative style that is both accurate and intimate. It will be enjoyed by readers — whether students, researchers, or professionals in mental health and neuroscience, patients with neurological disorders and their families, or general readers — who want to learn more about brain disorders and the doctors who care for those who suffer them.
