Download or read book The Man Who Couldn't Stop written by David Adam and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unraveling the Power of Obsessive Thoughts Dive into the complex world of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with this riveting narrative by acclaimed science writer, David Adam. The Man Who Couldn't Stop offers both a deep personal exploration of Adam's own twenty-year experience with OCD and an in-depth study of this widely misunderstood condition. Exquisitely balancing humor and urgency, this text is an unflinching look at how our neural networks can lead us astray, driving us towards obsession. The poignant examples provided throughout the book—from a schoolgirl eating a wall of her house piece by piece to a man dying under his household junk—highlight the extremes of OCD to an uninitiated reader. Bridging the gap between science, history, and memoir, this book explores the nature of intrusive thoughts, how they can transform into a blinding blizzard of unwanted perceptions, and the fine line when a harmless preoccupation morphs into compulsion. Serving as a haunting chronicle of personal torment, The Man Who Couldn't Stop brilliantly illuminates the darkest recesses of the human mind. Whether you’re a professional in the field of mental health, a student of psychology, or simply someone who seeks to understand more about the human condition, this book delivers an unforgettable, potent insight into the world of OCD and its implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author offers a look at depression in which he draws on his own battle with the illness and interviews with fellow sufferers, researchers, doctors, and others to assess the complexities of the disease, its causes and symptoms, and available therapies. This book examines depression in personal, cultural, and scientific terms. He confronts the challenge of defining the illness and describes the vast range of available medications, the efficacy of alternative treatments, and the impact the malady has on various demographic populations, around the world and throughout history. He also explores the thorny patch of moral and ethical questions posed by emerging biological explanations for mental illness. He takes readers on a journey into the most pervasive of family secrets and contributes to our understanding not only of mental illness but also of the human condition.
Book Synopsis Paranoia: A Study in Diagnosis by : A. Fried
Download or read book Paranoia: A Study in Diagnosis written by A. Fried and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a curious parallel between the philosophy of science and psychiatric theory. The so-called demarcation question, which has exercised philosophers of science over the last decades, posed the problem of distinguishing science proper from non-science - in par ticular, from metaphysics, from pseudo-science, from the non rational or irrational, or from the untestable or the empirically meaningless. In psychiatric theory, the demarcation question appears as a problem of distinguishing the sane from the insane, the well from the mentally ill. The parallelism is interesting when the criteria for what fails to be scientific are seen to be congruent with the criteria which define those psychoses which are marked by cognitive failure. In this book Dr Yehuda Fried and Professor Joseph Agassi - a practicing psychiatrist and a philosopher of science, respectivel- focus on an extreme case of psychosis - paranoia - as an essentially intellectual disorder: that is, as one in which there is a systematic and chronic delusion which is sustained by logical means. They write: "Paranoia is an extreme case by the very fact that paranoia is by definition a quirk of the intellectual apparatus, a logical delusion. " (p. 2.

Download or read book Vital Signs written by Lawrence Rothfield and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1994-12-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vital Signs offers both a compelling reinterpretation of the nineteenth-century novel and a methodological challenge to literary historians. Rejecting theories that equate realism with representation, Lawrence Rothfield argues that literary history forms a subset of the history of discourses and their attendant practices. He shows how clinical medicine provided Balzac, Flaubert, Eliot, and others with narrative strategies, epistemological assumptions, and models of professional authority. He also traces the linkages between medicine's eventual decline in scientific and social status and realism's displacement by naturalism, detective fiction, and modernism.

Book Synopsis The Prison Experience by : Pieter Spierenburg
Download or read book The Prison Experience written by Pieter Spierenburg and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the prison is central to the penal system of most modern nations, many believe that imprisonment did not become a major judicial sanction until the nineteenth century. In this readable history, Pieter Spierenburg traces the evolution of the prison during the early modern period and illustrates the important role it has played as both disciplinary institution and penal option from the late sixteenth century onward. Placing particular emphasis on the prisons of the Netherlands, Germany, and France, The Prison Experience examines not only the long-term nature of prisons and the historical conceptions of their prisoners but also looks at the daily lives of inmates—supplementing our understanding of social change and day-to-day life in early modern Europe.

Book Synopsis The Madhouse of Language by : Allan Ingram
Download or read book The Madhouse of Language written by Allan Ingram and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language has always been used as a measure of social, ideological, and psychological contexts for the exploration of madness. The Madhouse of Language considers the relations between madness and language from the late seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries, focusing on the close analysis of both medical records and texts by mad writers. It presents a highly original account of the linguistic relations between madness and sanity, of the appropriation by sane writers of the forms of English, and of attempts by mad patients to gain access to the expressive potential of language.
