À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Gail Saltz strikes gold. For centuries, stigma, fear and, above all, ignorance have prevented us from seeing what Dr Saltz presents so clearly, concisely and convincingly: that embedded in our so-called disabilities, disorders and mental illnesses we find treasures of enormous value, gems that have illuminated and changed the world'
Ned Hallowell, author of Driven to Distraction

The Power of Different examines the latest scientific discoveries surrounding all manner of brain 'problems' - including learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and autism - and shows how the source of our struggles can be the origin of our greatest talents and strengths.

Rooted in her experience as a professor and practicing psychiatrist, and based on the latest neuropsychiatric research, Saltz demonstrates how specific deficits in certain areas of the brain are directly associated with the potential for great talent. She also shows how the very conditions that can cause difficulty in life lead to creative, disciplinary, artistic, empathetic and cognitive abilities.

This pioneering work features engaging research and stories from famous geniuses and everyday individuals who have not only made the most of their conditions, but who have flourished because of them.
