This book about Medical Ethics, Religion, and Morals, goes from the Clinic of Hippocrates under a Plane Tree on the Greek island of Cos, to the small one-room Cottage Hospital in Capernaum of the Gospel of St Mark, staffed by two fisherman and Christ, to reach the Maudsley Hospital in London and UCLA in California. The book explores the brain - mind interface. Do the Mechanics of Neurology and the Mind of Kindness come from the same or different material? Are they similar or different in essence? The question was asked by Plato in ancient Greece, later by Descartes in France: in the twenty-first century in the ‘Higher Cortical Functions’ of neuropsychologist Alexander Luria in Russia, Adam Zeman ’s ‘Consciousness' in Edinburgh, and by Oliver Sacks in the New York Review of Books. Neurology and Kindness deals with Neurology, Brain, Mind and the innate human quality of Kindness; reinforced by the Love of Christianity, the Charity of Islam, the Duty of Judaism. It is written as a handbook for Nurses, Doctors, and also the Church: all who care for and help the sick.

The search for a shared practice of storytelling around which a popular study of cognitive narratology might form need look no further than our nightly experience of dreams. Dreams and memories are inseparable, complicating and building upon one another, reminding us that knowledge of ourselves based on our memories relies upon fictionalized narratives we create for ourselves. Psychologists refer to confabulation, the creation of false or distorted memories about oneself and the world we inhabit, albeit without any conscious intention to deceive. This process and narrative, inherent in the dreamlife of all people, is at odds with the daily menu of cultural myths and politicized fictions fed ...
