Oliver Sacks, M.D.

Oliver Sacks is a neurologist and author of numerous books about psychological disorders. He has performed many case studies that appear in many psychology textbooks today. A short excerpt from his biography:



"Sacks is perhaps best known for his collections of case histories from the far borderlands of neurological experience, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and An Anthropologist on Mars, in which he describes patients struggling to live with conditions ranging from Tourette’s syndrome to autism, parkinsonism, musical hallucination, epilepsy, phantom limb syndrome, schizophrenia, retardation, and Alzheimer’s disease."
