Sound-Rage. A Primer of the Neurobiology and Psychology of a Little Known Anger Disorder

by Judith T. Krauthamer

Gum chewing, nose sniffing, pen clicking…For the vast majority of people, these particular sounds are nothing more than background noise, but for a small, discrete population, these sounds trigger rage and an urge to flee. Commonly known as “Misophonia,” the disorder is not known by therapeutic or medical communities.

The disorder is uniquely characterized by an emotional anger response to auditory stimuli; a flight without fight physiological response; and anger without overt acts of aggression. The book provides compelling evidence that it is a developmental, neurological disorder, and presents detailed information on the brain regions implicated in the disorder. It presents a current state of knowledge to the public and provides another voice for hope, courage, and resilience.

[Mairita (Marii grāmatplaukts)]

Pieļauju, ka šī pašlaik ir vienīgā, apjomīgākā un labākā akadēmiskā grāmata par maz pētīto neiroloģisko disfunkciju mizofoniju. Must read visiem tiem, kurus neizsakāmi tracina kāda noteikta skaņa vai kustība līdz tādam līmenim, ka tas cilvēku padara ļoti dusmīgu un viņam jāpamet telpa/skaņas avots. Iespējams, ka radīsiet šajā grāmatā zināmu atvieglojumu. Vismaz sapratīsiet, ka nejūkat prātā un šim stāvoklim ir vārds, bet ne risinājums (pagaidām).

Very insightful and intelligent. A break through in the research in the area.
