Further DetailsTitle: Seized Condition: New Description: Seized is a narrative portrait of a common brain disorder that can alter personality, illuminating the mind-body problem and the limits of free will. An invaluable resource for anyone touched by epilepsy, Seized gives first-hand accounts of three ordinary patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), explaining what they suffer and how they cope. The book also tells the stories of creative luminaries diagnosed with or suspected of having TLE, including van Gogh, Dostoevsky, Lewis Carroll, Saint Paul, and Flaubert. The psychological implications of Seized are, according to Publishers Weekly , “staggering.” Kirkus Reviews called the book “Fascinating . . . LaPlante’s descriptions of the human brain are wonderfully concrete, her historical research is well presented, and her empathy for TLE’s victims is clear.” In this “fascinating account of medical research,” Howard Gardner noted, “LaPlante shows how a brain scar may cause bizarre aggressive or sexual behaviour--and works of profound creative imagination.” Author: Eve LaPlante Format: Paperback EAN: 9781504032902 ISBN: 9781504032902 Item Height: 229mm Item Length: 152mm Subtitle: Temporal Lobe Epilepsy as a Medical, Historical, and Artistic Phenomenon Genre: Society & Culture ISBN-10: 150403290X Country/Region of Manufacture: US Publisher: Open Road Media Release Date: 06/30/2016 Language: English Topic: Philosophy & Spirituality, Medicine Release Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
