After committing seventeen years to researching Hemingway's life and medical history, Andrew Farah, a forensic psychiatrist, has concluded that the writer's diagnoses were incorrect. Contrary to the commonly accepted diagnoses of bipolar disorder and alcoholism, Farah provides a comprehensive explanation of the medical conditions that led to Hemingway's suicide. Hemingway received state-of-the-art psychiatric treatment at one of the nation's finest medical institutes, but according to Farah it was for the wrong illness. Hemingway's death was not the result of medical mismanagement, but medical misunderstanding. Farah argues that despite popular mythology Hemingway was not manic-depressive and his alcohol abuse and characteristic narcissism were simply pieces of a much larger puzzle. Through a thorough examination of biographies, letters, memoirs of friends and family, and even Hemingway's FBI file, combined with recent insights on the effects of trauma on the brain, Farahpieces together this compelling, alternative narrative of Hemingway's illness, one that has been missing from the scholarship for too long. Though Hemingway's life has been researched extensively and many biographies written, those authors relied on the original diagnoses and turned to psychoanalysis and conjecture regarding Hemingway's mental state. Through his research Farah has sought to understand why Hemingway's decline accelerated after two courses of electroconvulsive therapy and in this olume explains which current options might benefit a similar patient today. Hemingway's Brain provides a full and accurate accounting of this psychiatric diagnosis by exploring the genetic influences, traumatic brain injuries, and neurological and psychological forces that resulted in what many have described as his tortured final years. It aims to eliminate the confusion and define for all future scholarship the specifics of the mental illnesses that shaped legendary literary works and destroyed the life of a master."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Hemingway, Ernest, $d 1899-1961 $v Biography. 600 17 $a Hemingway, Ernest, $d 1899-1961. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00027488 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Forensic psychiatry $v Case studies. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY $x Forensic Psychology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Forensic psychiatry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00932002 650 2 $a Mentally Ill Persons $x history. 650 2 $a Famous Persons. 650 2 $a Forensic Psychiatry $x history. 650 2 $a Suicide $x psychology. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 2 $a Biography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Farah, Andrew. $t Hemingway's brain. $d Columbia, South Carolina : The University of South Carolina Press, [2017] $z 9781611177435 $w (DLC) 2017007925 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020014726.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402021003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=091C6C58621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
