| book description |

In The Man Who Lost His Head, Douwe Draaisma explores some of the most bizarre and intriguing brain disorders throughout history. From patients who believe their loved ones have been replaced by doubles or who feel sensations in an arm that was amputated years ago to those who insist theyâ€™re dead or have had their heads removed and substituted with another, these cases reveal the mindâ€™s complex way of imposing order amid chaos. Draaisma examines syndromes like Cotardâ€™s and Capgras, where sufferersâ€™ perceptions of self and reality are radically altered, linking delusions to specific brain circuits and cultural context. With engaging storytelling and sharp insights, this book offers a captivating look at the human mindâ€™s remarkable and often mysterious and disturbing workings.
