This book gives a rare, poignant and in depth understanding of what it is like to live with the severe after effects of brain damage caused by a viral infection of the brain. It tells the story of Claire, a survivor of encephalitis, who was left with an inability to recognise faces, also called prosopagnosia. It describes our current knowledge of the condition, and offers a unique report on daily living with a condition which many of us have, for too long, known too little about. Identity Unknown will be essential reading for professionals working in rehabilitation settings, and will also be of great interest to people who have sustained a brain injury and their families.
