NOVEDADES

Desde hace ya varios años, el continente europeo intenta definir un nuevo rumbo para lograr su transición geopolítica y responder a una demanda de modernización de las instituciones cada vez más apremiante y crítica.

Tras más de veinte años escuchando con empatía los testimonios -terribles y hermosos- de sus pacientes, el psiquiatra Guillermo Lahera narra en Las palabras de la bestia hermosa, a través del desarrollo de siete casos clínicos, en qué consisten y por qué se producen los principales trastornos mentales y cómo estos definen los aspectos esenciales del ser humano. Con una prosa tan rigurosa como ágil, que recuerda al mejor Oliver Sacks, Lahera nos descubre un cerebro social, interconectado, narrativo y permeable, una máquina falible de contar historias y de construir la realidad, muy alejada de la idea de simple ordenador biológico o procesador de información. Son los relatos de quienes han pasado por su consulta los que nos revelan sus mecanismos. Y quizá, al llegar a la última página de este libro, algún lector detecte signos de alarma, factores de riesgo y, sobre todo, comprenda que la lucha secreta con la enfermedad mental representa una forma excelsa de humanidad.
