Synopsis:

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press.
This text examines prominent individuals from great literature and their apparent mental disorders or diseases. It then investigates how those disorders and diseases meet the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5) diagnostic criteria, and how the authors of these stories could have had enough knowledge to create characters who were suffering from mental illness hundreds of years before these illnesses were classified or defined.

About the Author: Eric L. Altschuler is Associate Professor at Temple University School of Medicine in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Temple University Hospital. His primary research interest is basic and clinically applied cognitive neuroscience: the search to understand how the brain works and how this knowledge can be applied to treat disease. Dr. Altschuler was the first to show a benefit of mirror therapy for individuals with hemiparesis following strokes and the use of mirror therapy for an orthopaedic condition.
