| Abstract: | The practice and study of clinical neuropsychology is considered an empirical enterprise. However, such an approach may result
in missing the more humanistic or phenomenological side of the experience of brain dysfunction. This addresses a personal
journey rather than a professional and scientific one. In doing so, the limits of the discipline and the suffering and value
of the experience of the illness are presented.
