Edward Bullmore on The Divided Mind
The book that first showed me what a biological explanation of psychiatric illness could actually look like — and the argument that the split between brain and mind has done real harm. Bullmore in his own words.
Why this one is here: it is the book behind what I have written about Bullmore under my intellectual heroes. Fractal brain networks, genome-wide atlases and polygenic risk, epigenetics, synaptic pruning and the immune system, held together as one account of how a disorder like schizophrenia might come about — and a history of why psychiatry stopped expecting that to be possible.
What I would add to it — to be written.
