Description of The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by Oliver Sacks

“The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat: And Other Clinical Tales” is a collection of different stories. All these stories hit on a very important and sensitive topic of demyelinating diseases. The author of this book is OLIVER SACKS. He completed his medical training at San Francisco’s Mount Zion Hospital and at UCLA. In this book, Dr. Sacks opens a door to the layman and offers a sideways glance into conventional psychology and psychiatry with thoughts, ideas, observations and evidence regarding truly fascinating psychological conditions and phenomena.

Oliver Sacks told the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations. There are many types of patients discussed in this book. The patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts, patients who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects, patients who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities, whose limbs have become alien, who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. In summary, this is a great book on demyelinating diseases. You can also Download How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker PDF Free.
