INTO THE ABYSS - ANTHONY DAVID GEBUNDEN

'Highly eloquent  fascinating and deeply compassionate' Henry Marsh  author of Do No HarmWe
cannot know how to fix a problem until we understand its causes. But even for some of the most
common mental health problems  specialists argue over whether the answers lie in the person's
biology  their psychology or their circumstances.As a cognitive neuropsychiatrist  Anthony
David brings together many fields of enquiry  from social and cognitive psychology to
neurology. The key for each patient might be anything from a traumatic memory to a chemical
imbalance  an unhealthy way of thinking or a hidden tumour.Patrick believes he is dead.
Jennifer's schizophrenia medication helped with her voices but did it cause Parkinson's? Emma
is in a coma - or is she just refusing to respond? Drawing from Professor David's career as a
clinician and academic  these fascinating case studies reveal the unique complexity of the
human mind  stretching the limits of our understanding.
