"I have listened to, watched, and read Allan Ropper on subjects related to the brain for thirty years. He's still my teacher, but I've never seen him teach like this. Along with his friend and gifted co-author, Ropper takes us on a romp through centuries of cultural and scientific history. There's a kicker: can that history clarify and crystallize through the lens of just one nasty disease? Yes. Read how in this page-turningly accessible and brilliant book."-- Edison K. Miyawaki, M.D. , Assistant Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, author of The Frontal Brain and Language, "This aptly titled book picks up where Oliver Sacks left off in examining the behavioral characteristics of neurobehavioral syndromes in an effort to span the gap that has historically separated the twin disciplines of the brain, neurology, and psychiatry. In contrasting the organic (general paresis of the insane) with the ethereal (hysteria), this neuropsychiatric treatise brings the two divergent disciplines closer together without committing to their ultimate unification."-- Jeffrey A. Lieberman, MD , chairman of psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons; Past President of the American Psychiatric Association; author of Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry "A sweeping narrative of how the concept of mental illness evolved in the context of culture, history, and science. How the Brain Lost its Mind is written with wit and wisdom, and filled with vividly depicted colorful characters from Freud to Maupassant to the Marquis de Sade, from the physicians of nineteenth century Europe to the public health commissioners of 1930s New York. Ropper and Burrell trace the riveting history of the science of the mind and brain, revealing how and why neurology and psychiatry split, and how the future of medicine depends on their reunification."-- Aaron Berkowitz , associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School; author of Clinical Neurology and Neuroanatomy and The Improvising Mind "I have listened to, watched, and read Allan Ropper on subjects related to the brain for thirty years. He's still my teacher, but I've never seen him teach like this. Along with his friend and gifted co-author, Ropper takes us on a romp through centuries of cultural and scientific history. There's a kicker: can that history clarify and crystallize through the lens of just one nasty disease? Yes. Read how in this page-turningly accessible and brilliant book."-- Edison K. Miyawaki, MD , assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School; author of The Frontal Brain and Language "A thrilling journey from the dramatic common origins of neurology and psychiatry, through their historical divergence, to their current realignment. The medical, scientific and social histories of two fascinating conditions are brilliantly interwoven and contrasted. Fascinating stories, masterfully told, bring to life the notable patients who suffered with these strange maladies, and the extraordinary doctors who treated them as they sought cures. This is essential and engaging reading for anyone who wants to understand these most interesting medical and philosophical issues, and how they have played out across continents and centuries."-- David Silbersweig, MD , chairman, Department of Psychiatry, co-director, Center for the Neurosciences, Brigham and Women's Hospital; Stanley Cobb Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "A page-turner vividly depicting the struggles of medicine's perennial sibling rivals: neurology and psychiatry. The dramatic interactions between clinical investigators and patients--occasionally one and the same--demonstrate how ideas relating mind to brain pervasively influence our sense of ourselves."-- Paul McHugh, MD, Chairman Emeritus of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine "Through tales of eminent physicians and their suffering patients, replete with sex, drugs, and magnetically-induced hypnotism, we learn how a bacterium that deprived countless souls of their reason also helped scientists discover a role for brain biology in mental illness."-- Alan Jasanoff , author of The Biological Mind ; Professor of Biological Engineering, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Nuclear Science & Engineering

Synopsis
A noted neurologist challenges the widespread misunderstanding of brain disease and mental illness. How the Brain Lost Its Mind tells the rich and compelling story of two confounding ailments, syphilis and hysteria, and the extraordinary efforts to confront their effects on mental life. How does the mind work? Where does madness lie, in the brain or in the mind? How should it be treated? Throughout the nineteenth century, syphilis--a disease of mad poets, musicians, and artists--swept through the highest and lowest rungs of European society like a plague. Known as the Great Imitator, it could produce almost any form of mental or physical illness, and it would bring down a host of famous and infamous characters--among them Guy de Maupassant, Vincent van Gogh, the Marquis de Sade, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Al Capone. It was the first truly psychiatric disease and it filled asylums to overflowing. At the same time, an outbreak of bizarre behaviors resembling epilepsy, but with no identifiable source in the body, strained the diagnostic skills of the great neurologists. It was referred to as hysteria. For more than a century, neurosyphilis stood out as the archetype of a brain-based mental illness, fully understood but largely forgotten, and today far from gone. Hysteria, under many different names, remains unexplained and epidemic. These two conditions stand at opposite poles of the current debate over the role of the brain in mental illness. Hysteria led Freud to insert sex into psychology. Neurosyphilis led to the proliferation of mental institutions. The problem of managing the inmates led to the abuse of lobotomy and electroshock therapy, and ultimately the overuse of psychotropic drugs. Today we know that syphilitic madness was a destructive disease of the brain while hysteria and, more broadly, many varieties of mental illness reside solely in the mind. Or do they? Afflictions once written off as hysterical continue to elude explanation. Addiction, alcoholism, autism, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, depression, and sociopathy, though regarded as brain-based, have not been proven to be so. In these pages, the authors raise a host of philosophical and practical questions. What is the difference between a sick mind and a sick brain? If we understood everything about the brain, would we understand ourselves? By delving into an overlooked history, this book shows how neuroscience and brain scans alone cannot account for a robust mental life, or a deeply disturbed one., A noted neurologist challenges the widespread misunderstanding of brain disease and mental illness.
