About the author
Dr.Joaquín Farias is a leading specialist in neuropsychological rehabilitation in focal dystonias, biomechanist, ergonomist, psychosociologist, musician, martial arts instructor, shiatsu therapist, traveller, researcher and advocate for a patients's right to receive the least aggressive treatment available.
He believes that rehabilitation experiences are not reproducible because each person is unique and different and that life doesn't repeat itself.
He believes in the humanization of science and in the integration of all disciplines because the patient lives in a world that cannot be divided.
He believes that patients are not just subjects, but are people, and when a life is reduced to a clinical history, many times the most important facets of the person are overlooked.

2.0 out of 5 stars I think i'm missing the point
I didn't really find this book very helpful at all. Its basically just a collection of very short paragraphs about people that have dystonia (as i do).
like "john was a great boxer, but could no longer punch, then he had a massive bowel movement, now he's heavyweight champ". Very little medical information or specifics on the disease.
Certainly no information on how to overcome the disease. disappointed.
