Hardback. Condizione: Fair. WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR In her bestselling classic, An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison changed the way we think about moods and madness. Dr. Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic-depressive (bipolar) illness; she has also experienced it firsthand.

An Unquiet Mind is a memoir of enormous candor, vividness, and wisdom--a deeply powerful book that has both transformed and saved lives.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. 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 *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
