The case for love : my adventures in other minds
Benjamin, A. K.2021
Books
A woman with locked-in syndrome, a naked man discovered on a plane at Heathrow, a taxi driver with memory loss: through three case studies of traumatic brain injury, clinical neuropsychologist A.K. Benjamin examines the uniquely intimate and deceptive nature of the clinical relationship. Ingenious, daring and perfectly formed, 'The Case for Love' is a dazzlingly original drama about how doctors, like writers, inhabit their patients' minds, how every work of fiction is, beneath the surface, a form of memoir, and how every act of imagination is, in essence, an act of love.
