In Essence creates a veritable 'narrative scaffolding' of the arts among the sciences. A compilation of scholarly blogs and essays by a clinical professor of psychiatry, this volume weaves together references from some of our most prestigious scholars and illustrates each piece with sumptuous color images from the world's greatest artists. Drawing insights from philosophy, culture, history, literature, film, and the arts, the author, with a medical and psychological perspective, presents an exquisite tapestry of subjects, including loneliness, resilience, pain, cancer, pregnancy, synesthesia, hypochondriasis, counterfactual thinking, compassion failure, facial deformities, the madness of hunger, face blindness, and a mathematical approach to the study of infinity.
