Descripción del artículo del vendedor

An engrossing look into the heart of twelve of the strangestpsychological disorders known to science In a book reminiscent of Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wifefor a Hat, psychologists Louis Franzini and John Grossberg take usbehind the tabloid headlines and media exposes to tell thereal-life stories of emotionally damaged men and women driven tohorrific extremes in their efforts to gratify their basic humanneeds for love and attention. Writing with compassion and offering many profound insights intothe human condition, the authors provide rare, often wrenching,glimpses into the tortured worlds of necrophiliacs, who make loveonly to corpses, and "werewolves" who commit unthinkable acts ofmutilation and cannibalism; of men paralyzed by the terrifyingbelief that their penises are disappearing into their bodies, andcompulsive hair pullers, who pluck every last hair from theirflesh; of paranoids who believe they are being stalked by theirevil twins, and those convinced that everyone close to them is animposter; and many others. All of the stories contained in Eccentric and Bizarre Behaviors arebased on actual case studies. Throughout, Drs. Franzini andGrossberg discuss, in terms that general readers can understand,both the known and conjectural causes for the strange disordersthey describe. And, in many cases, they recount the stirringdetails of how patients were ultimately rescued from the eccentricand bizarre patterns of behavior in which they had becomeimprisoned. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Descripción de la tienda

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused.

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
