    This book offers a critical, multidisciplinary exploration of neuropsychiatric and developmental disorders. The volume opens with a theoretical framework drawing on Foucault, Szasz, and Basaglia, problematizing psychiatric diagnosis as a potential technology of normalization and epistemic injustice. It then examines specific syndromes—including Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Wernicke-Korsakoff, Balint’s, Charles Bonnet, Sundowning, Polymelia, and Noah Syndrome—through an integrated lens. Each chapter combines neuroscience, classical psychoanalysis, and bioenergetic analysis, proposing a model of care that respects patient singularity beyond mere taxonomy. The work positions itself as a journey through the “broken symphonies of the mind,” advocating for compassionate neuro-understanding and an alternative to purely classificatory approaches in psychiatry. The book has over 100 illustrations making it easy to comprehend.

    Author Biography

    Michele Di Salvo is an Italian researcher, author, and expert operating at the dynamic intersection of neuroscience, psychology, law, and artificial intelligence. With a career spanning scientific research, clinical theory, and policy analysis, he is recognized for his interdisciplinary approach to understanding the human mind and its interaction with emerging technologies. He currently is Research Coordinator at ENIA - National Agency for Artificial Intelligence Foundation - and is the Director of the journal NeuralNexus. He is an active member of leading international scientific societies, including the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), the International Neuropsychoanalysis Society (NPSA), and the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS), International Neuroethics Society (INS) and Italian Society of Economic Sociology (SISEC). His work has garnered significant recognition, including the 2024 AI Awards for Ethics for his public advocacy of "neural rights" and cognitive liberty in the neurotechnological age. He is the author of seminal scientific books along with numerous peer-reviewed articles in journals spanning neuroeducation, mental health, socio-educational studies, and law. His research ambitiously bridges domains, exploring the neurobiological substrates of psychoanalysis, the ethics of AI, the neuroscientific basis of therapeutic practices, and the legal implications of neurotechnology.
