Project Summary
My PhD research primarily focused on the contextualisation of Virginia Woolf and the holism movement in neuroscience. I explored how Woolf's literary representation of 'the whole' in the mind-body and life intellectually resonates with the philosophical ramification of holistic neuropsychologists, such as Hughlings Jackson, Henry Head, Kurt Goldstein, Alexander Luria and Oliver Sacks.
