Add to basketUna absorbente aproximación al trastorno bipolar, desde la doble perspectiva del paciente y el médico.En Bipolar, la psicóloga y profesora de psiquiatría Kay R. Jamison se propuso a sí misma como «caso clínico» y decidió contar su propia y estremecedora experiencia como enferma maniaco-depresiva. Jamison vivió los infiernos de ese mal, también denominado trastorno bipolar, tan universal y, al mismo tiempo, poco conocido. Desde muy niña empezó a mostrar un carácter que se revelaría precursor de la enfermedad. Poco después de licenciarse en psicología, sufrió el primer episodio. A partir de entonces, y durante treinta años, su vida ha sido una auténtica odisea, descrita en estas páginas con extrema sensibilidad, ternura y lucidez. Esta obra, un libro de referencia, y también una extraordinaria ayuda para quienes sufren este tipo de trastorno, aparece ahora con un nuevo prólogo de la autora.«Un libro único entre la literatura del trastorno maniaco-depresivo por su valentía, brillantes y belleza.» Oliver Sacks«Un libro hermoso, divertido y original. . Un maravilloso e importante recuento de los estados de ánimo mercuriales y de la locura. Amo este libro.» Pat Conroy, autora de El príncipe de las mareas«Un fascinante retrato de un cerebro valiente, que alterna entre las alturas excitantes y las recaídas en el entumecimiento.» James D. Watson, Premio Nobel y autor de La doble hélice«Escrito con una sensibilidad poética y emocionante . Una singular y perspicaz visión de la enfermedad mental, desde el interior de la mente de una experimentada especialista.» Time«Una valiosísima rememoración del trastorno maniaco-depresivo, al mismo tiempo lleno de conocimientos médicos, profundamente humano y hermosamente escrito.» New York Times Book Review«Un libro valiente y fascinante; un recuento emocionante de la vida de una mujer singular.» Daily Telegraph«[La fuerza de] Jamison es la valiente forma en que ella ha convertido su enfermedad en el trabajo de su vida y en su brillante habilidad para sobrellevar sus alegrías y sus angustias. . Extraordinario.» Washington Post«Una lectura electrizante . su autora tiene el humor y el alma de un poeta.» The Economist«Una escritura soberbia . Una convincente obra literaria.» Independent on Sunday.
