Title: The Man Who Mistook His Wife
for a Hat
Author: Oscar Sacks
published 1970
Patti's Read:
The book is made up of chapters
of case studies of various neurologists.
Each story goes into detail of the problems in the brain that result in
abnormal behaviors of varying types.
The book is of very small,
dense type. The case studies are
varied. I did relate to the studies on
those of the intellectually impaired and autistic, as I taught those type of
individuals for many years. It is
interesting that the mentally disabled do respond to music as I experienced. Also, that the autistic students would have
often areas of high ability that were unusual.
I did speed read the book as
a lot of it was interesting, but not what I wanted to explore in depth.
