Neuroliterature Patients Doctors Diseases

<p>Most of these occasional pieces published over a period of almost 20 years and brought together for the first time in this volume explore the interrelationships between neurology and literature hence “neuroliterature”.  Both literary and clinical accounts share narrative structure and the former may inform a clinician’s understanding of the patient experience of disease.  Creative writers without medical training may describe neurological disorders based on their careful observations of the human condition permitting a fruitful exchange of ideas in this interdisciplinary subject area. This book may be of interest to both practising clinicians and students of literature.  </p>
