《心月:我兄的故事,大脑的科学与心灵的探索》(真实AZW3)
“A profound and powerful work of essential reporting." —The New York Times Book Review An important—and intimate—interrogation of how we treat mental illness and how we understand ourselves In the early 1960s, JFK declared that science would take us to the moon. He also declared that science would make the “remote reaches of the mind accessible” and cure psychiatric illness with breakthrough medications. We were walking on the moon within the decade. But today, psychiatric cures continue to elude us—as does the mind itself. Why is it that we still don’t understand how the mind works? What is the difference between the mind and the brain? And given all that we still don’t know, how can we make insightful, transformative choices about our psychiatric conditions? When Daniel Bergner’s younger brother was diagnosed as bipolar and put on a locked ward in the 1980s, psychiatry seemed to have achieved what JFK promised: a revolution of chemical solutions to treat mental illness. Yet as Bergner’s brother was deemed a dire risk for suicide and he and his family were told his disorder would be lifelong, he found himself taking heavy doses of medications with devastating side effects. Now, in recounting his brother’s journey alongside the gripping, illuminating stories of Caroline, who is beset by the hallucinations of psychosis, and David, who is overtaken by depression, Bergner examines the evolution of how we treat our psyches. He reveals how the pharmaceutical industry has perpetuated our biological view of the mind and our drug-based assumptions about treatment—despite the shocking price paid by many patients and the problematic evidence of drug efficacy. And he takes us into the pioneering labs of today’s preeminent neuroscientists, sharing their remarkably candid reflections and fascinating new theories of treatment. The Mind and the Moon raises profound questions about how we understand ourselves and the essential human divide between our brains and our minds. This is a book of thought-provoking reframings, delving into the science—and spirit—of our psyches. It is about vulnerability and personal dignity, the terrifying choices confronted by families and patients, and the prospect of alternatives. In The Mind and the Moon, Bergner beautifully explores how to seek a deeper engagement with ourselves and one another—and how to find a better path toward caring for our minds.
“一部深刻而有力的关于精神疾病治疗的重要报道作品。” —《纽约时报》书评 对如何对待精神病以及我们如何看待自己的一次重要的、私密性的审视。 在20世纪60年代初期,肯尼迪总统承诺科学能够让我们登月。他也许诺通过突破性药物治愈精神障碍,并让“人类心灵的最遥远角落变得触手可及”。而在十年之内,我们就实现了登月。然而,今天,精神疾病的治愈依然无法实现——甚至连我们自己大脑运作的方式仍然未解之谜也未曾解开。为什么我们现在还不能理解我们的头脑是如何运作的?人脑与精神之间的差异是什么?在人类对于脑部认知所知仍然有限的情况下,我们又如何做出明智而有变革性的选择来处理自己的精神疾病? 当丹尼尔·伯根纳年轻时的弟弟被诊断患有双相情感障碍并被安置于一间锁着门的病房时,医学界似乎已经实现了肯尼迪总统所说的:通过化学物质治疗来解决精神疾病问题。然而,在伯恩斯的哥哥被认为是自杀风险极高、且被宣告将终身遭受精神疾病的折磨之际,他不得不服用大量具有毁灭性副作用的精神药物。 如今,伯恩斯以自己弟弟的旅程为起点,结合充满悬念而又启迪人心的故事——关于卡罗琳,她饱受精神病性幻觉的困扰;以及德怀特,他的抑郁席卷全身。伯恩斯审视了我们如何治疗精神状态的演变过程,并揭示了制药行业是如何延续生物学视角和基于药物的治疗假设——尽管许多患者为此付出了沉重代价且相关药品疗效证据存在明显问题。 他带读者进入当今最杰出神经科学家们的先锋研究实验室,分享他们坦率的观点以及新颖治疗理念。《人脑与登月》提出了关于我们如何理解自己的深刻疑问,并探讨了人在精神状态和大脑之间的本质差异。本书涉及的是对自我心理科学与灵性的探索。它聚焦于脆弱性、个人尊严以及家庭与患者面对的可怕选择,同时也展望了替代疗法的可能性。 在《人脑与登月》一书中,伯恩斯美丽地探讨了如何更加深入地与自己及他人交往,并探寻一条更好的道路来关爱我们的心智。”
