It describes the clinical presentation of the syndrome, including its huge variety of symptoms and the variability of its natural course.The book starts out with several vivid vignettes, and then explains how and why the concept was introduced. In addition, it explains what is currently known about the underlying medical conditions and brain mechanisms, proposes a diagnostic algorithm, and makes recommendations for treatment. Throughout the book, a recurring question is whether or not Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll) suffered from the symptoms he described so aptly in Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland. Accordingly, it should appeal to anyone interested in the brain and its disorders, as well as readers interested in the life of Lewis Carroll. 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aNeurology  606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aPsychiatry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H53003 606 $aNeurology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001 606 $aClinical Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 0$aNeurology . 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 14$aPsychiatry. 615 24$aNeurology. 615 24$aClinical Psychology. 676 $a616.8 676 $a616.8 700 $aBlom$b Jan Dirk$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990562 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369960003321 996 $aAlice in Wonderland Syndrome$92266174 997 $aUNINA
