Description

A must read for every counsellor, psychotherapist, life coach and psychiatrist - Philippa Perry

Practising psychiatrist Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing what happens when the memory process is disrupted by mental illness and how our recall of and access to memory determines how we function in the world.

Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. This is a process that shapes us—filtering the world around us, informing our behaviour, and feeding our imagination.

Drawing on poignant case studies and enriched with exploration of literature and fairy tales, O'Keane uses the latest neuroscientific research to illuminate the role of psychiatry today and the extraordinary puzzle that is our human brain.
