Description
"It is my purpose in this book to demonstrate that a host of critical issues in psychology can be illuminated by a thoughtful study of the behavior and testimony of brain damaged individuals."-- Howard Gardner "An unprecedented and impressive accomplishment in presenting in clear and understandable terms a field of tremendous complexity....No less is attempted, and accomplished, than a portrait of today's neuro-psychologist whose task it is 'to interview and then test the brain damaged show more patient in a variety of domains.'" -- Richard M. Restak, New York Times Book Review "At once moving and carefully analytic." -- Kenneth A. Klivington, Los Angeles Times "Step by step, he explains and illustrates, by case example, so what might have been an awesome treatise has become a fascinating book." -- Jean Dietz, The Boston Globe "A valuable book...written so that it can be understood by the intelligent layman." -- Marjorie C. Meehan, M.D. Journal of the American Medical Association show lessTags
