Accidentally bought An Analysis of Oliver Sacks s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales The Macat Library This was labeled as the audiobook of the actual thing once I started reading it I really found it worthwhile I had very little knowledge of Oliver Sacks theories and I found the book although it s only about 100 pages worthwhile It gives you a good overview and insight The Man Who Mistook His Wife for His Hat I wanted to read the book but the library only had the analysis Having seen advertisements of a play by the same name The Man Who Mistook I thought I was about to read a 50 s style comedy akin to The 7 year Itch However it turns out that Sacks is a neurologist and the book represents 15 patients who had neurological differences from the norm The analysis did point out that Sacks Analysis of his patients was unique in so much as it was a Romantic Analysis where the patient s life story is mixed with the neurological manifestation At that time Sacks work was considered original An Analysis of Oliver Sacks s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales The Macat Library NOT the actual book this is just somebody else writing their opinions about the actual book Very hard to tell from the cover though An Analysis of Oliver Sacks s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales The Macat Library this book audio version was labeled as the real thing in the library what a disappoimtment. this one is for lazy high school or medical students who don t want to read the book but are required to save your time skip this cliffnotesy thing and read the real thing An Analysis of Oliver Sacks s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales The Macat Library I read listened to this immediately after finishing Oliver Sacks book It gave a fair synopsis of the book as well as a bit of additional information about Dr Sacks and his contributions to the field but didn t do much in the way of analyzing the cases I think this is mainly for people who don t want to read the book rather than people who have read it and want additional insight Also the narrator was so very very annoying She spoke in an I m quoting voice every time she quoted something and it was just horrible and cringeworthy If you ve already read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales I would pass on this and read the wikipedia page on Oliver Sacks instead neurologist Oliver Sacks looked at the cutting edge work taking place in his field and decided that much of it was not fit for purpose Sacks found it hard to understand why most doctors adopted a mechanical and impersonal approach to their patients and opened his mind to new ways to treat people with neurological disorders He explored the question of deciding what such new ways might be by deploying his formidable creative thinking skills Sacks felt the issues at the heart of patient care needed redefining because the way they were being dealt with hurt not only patients but practitioners too They limited a physician s capacity to understand and then treat a patient s condition To highlight the issue Sacks wrote the stories of 24 patients and their neurological clinical conditions In the process he rebelled against traditional methodology by focusing on his patients subjective experiences Sacks did not only write about his patients in original ways he attempt to come up with creative ways of treating them as well At root his method was to try to help each person individually with the core aim of finding meaning and a sense of identity despite or even thanks to the patients condition Sacks thus redefined the issue of neurological work in a new way and his ideas were so influential that they heralded the arrival of a broader movement narrative medicine that placed stronger emphasis on listening to and incorporating patients experiences and insights into their care An Analysis of Oliver Sacks s The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales The Macat Library.
