About The Book

«Esta extraordinaria y bella indagaci�n en las fronteras de la realidad y de la cordura es una gu�a fascinante de las regiones inexploradas de lo humano. Aqu� hay dragones, como dec�an los antiguos mapas . - Rosa Montero

«Una obra tan bien escrita como �til para comprender los grandes temas de la psiquiatr�a: el suicidio, la neurosis, la esquizofrenia, el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo o el trastorno bipolar . - �lvaro Bilbao

Tras m�s de veinte a�os escuchando con empat�a los testimonios -terribles y hermosos- de sus pacientes, el psiquiatra Guillermo Lahera narra en Las palabras de la bestia hermosa, a trav�s del desarrollo de siete casos cl�nicos, en qu� consisten y por qu� se producen los principales trastornos mentales y c�mo estos definen los aspectos esenciales del ser humano.

Con una prosa tan rigurosa como �gil, que recuerda al mejor Oliver Sacks, Lahera nos descubre un cerebro social, interconectado, narrativo y permeable, una m�quina falible de contar historias y de construir la realidad, muy alejada de la idea de simple ordenador biol�gico o procesador de informaci�n. Son los relatos de quienes han pasado por su consulta los que nos revelan sus mecanismos. Y quiz�, al llegar a la �ltima p�gina de este libro, alg�n 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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"This extraordinary and beautiful exploration of the boundaries between reality and sanity is a fascinating guide to the uncharted regions of the human experience. *Here be dragons*, as the old maps used to say." -Rosa Montero

"A work as well written as it is useful for understanding the major psychiatric themes: suicide, neurosis, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder." -�lvaro Bilbao

After more than twenty years of empathetically listening to the terrible and beautiful testimonies of his patients, psychiatrist Guillermo Lahera presents The Words of the Beautiful Beast with seven clinical cases that reveal what the main mental disorders are, why they occur, and how they define the essential aspects of being human.

With a prose as precise as it is fluid--reminiscent of the best of Oliver Sacks--Lahera reveals a social, interconnected, narrative, and permeable brain: a fallible storytelling machine that constructs reality, far removed from the idea of a simple biological computer or information processor. It is through the stories of those who have sat in his office that we come to understand its mechanisms. And perhaps, by the final page, some readers will recognize warning signs, risk factors, and, above all, the profound truth that the secret struggle with mental illness represents one of the highest expressions of humanity.
