Georges Gilles de la Tourette, Beyond the Eponym
Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857-1904) interne à La Salpêtrière en 1884
Walusinski's tour de force is destined to become the definitive text on the life and work of Georges Gilles de la Tourette. The author's unparalleled erudition and passion have resulted in a remarkable piece of work, which combines the rigour of a learned scholar with the finesse of a skilful novelist. ... In the future, this book will deservedly stand the test of time and join Gilles de la Tourette himself in the gallery of enduring fame." Andrea E. Cavanna, Cognitive Neuropsychiatry
"Walusinski has written an extensive, original, and well-informed biography on the life and the works of Gilles de la Tourette." Jean-Gaël Barbara, Journal of the History of the Neurosciences
"Anyone interested in the origins of clinical neurology in late 19th century France will want to read this scholarly volume, which is well presented with many illustrations from the authorâs personal collection." AJ Larner, Advances in Clinical Neuroscience and Rehabilitation
"This monumental biography is a masterpiece of medicohistorical analysis ... It is a riveting, compelling book that will be a reference for years to come, certainly on Tourette, but also on the history of research into neurological disorders." Alain Touwaide, Doodys
"Walusinski's scholarly and thorough account is destined to become the definitive text on the life and times of a man whose colourful personality more than made up for his less than brilliant academic achievement." A J Lees, Brain
"The depth and meticulousness of Dr. Walusinski's George Gilles de la Tourette. Beyond the Eponym urges me to recommend it to any contemporary clinician-scientist interested in disorders of human behavior. It does not only serve as an archive of the past both for tic disorders and the entire Parisian school of neurology, but also as an important reference point, which allows to place contemporary practice within the wider context of clinico-scientific progress in modernity."
