In "Narratives of the Mind", Dr. Khanna delves into the complex tapestry of human existence. This groundbreaking book is not just a treatise on psychiatry; it's an odyssey through the evolutionary, biological, socio-cultural, and existential landscapes that shape our lives and mental health.
The narratives we construct about ourselves and our place in the world are deeply interwoven with our psychological and physiological make-up. Dr. Khanna offers a holistic view of what it means to be human. Dr. Khanna invites readers to engage with the idea of an Existential formulation of mental disorders, offering a new lens through which we can view and address the challenges of mental health in contemporary times.
Reviews
An intelligent thoughtful look at what it is to be human, through the lens of science and philosophy from our first language to the psychiatric criteria of mental disorder. Khanna then helps us make sense of that accumulated knowledge to forge forward in how we approach those in distress—whether disordered or because it is part of the human condition.
