Incredibly grateful to @scahalan for this sensitive and appreciative review of my book. nytimes.com/2024/04/23/boo…

New at PB, @jonathanfoiles interviews @gabebrownstein about his new book “The Secret Mind of Bertha Pappenheim” (@public_affairs), which tells the story of Freud’s “Anna O,” without whom psychoanalysis as we know it would not exist. buff.ly/3NjoZMG

“For the first year, she had longed for a black dress and a veil…But she arrived for her date with freshly shaved legs, wearing pumps and sheer stockings.” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” new fiction by @GabeBrownstein in our latest issue: vqronline.org/fiction-2024/f…

@cara_messina Cara, you are correct.

@ConnectFnd I cannot thank you enough for this. I don't quite know what to say. I really was moved by the stories of the doctors and patients I met, and I hope I did them justice.

My hope is there’s a revision in 10 years’ time, that the work of these amazing & dedicated professionals will give further insight into FND, & potentially Anna O’s story. In the meantime, the author should be thanked for the empathetic way he has handled the subject of FND 7/7

I’ve finished this book far faster than I thought I would. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t the story of Anna O that drew me to it, but the obvious inclusion of the topic of #FND #functionalneurologicaldisorder - would it be another “it’s all in your head” misinformed reference? 1/7

@ConnectFnd @FndPortal Thank you so much. I am really deeply moved by these responses.

@FndPortal @gabebrownstein I’ve just finished it & it’s rare I sit and read something straight through. Yes, it’s the story of Anna O, but it’s a very powerful storyteller for FND too. You’re going to love it!

Ooh @FndPortal you’re famous along with the big guns in @gabebrownstein #thesecretmindofberthapappenheim book. P138 - just one of many fabulous pages in this fascinating book!

@ConnectFnd @drpaulwinston @FndPortal I am so so grateful for this response. I am overwhelmed by it.

@drpaulwinston @FndPortal @gabebrownstein Absolutely. I’ve put the book down and feel strangely emotional that someone has so succinctly put in one book what we try and say about FND every day. It’s real. It matters.

@psychmag @public_affairs @kylakenney21 Your story in The Psychologist magazine!

@psychmag @public_affairs @DavidLewisPerez @jonstoneneuro @FndPortal @FNDSociety @AmandaFNDHope The Psychologist reprinted the chapter in my book that best discusses FND

Watch the recap of our Facebook Live broadcast of The Secret Mind of Bertha Pappenheim Virtual Book Launch Event fb.watch/rxdQyLFN8a/ via @FacebookWatch @jonstoneneuro @gabebrownstein

Join FND Hope on Thursday, April 18th at 10:00 AM PST/6:00 PM GMT as we celebrate the release of The Secret Mind of Bertha Pappenheim: The Woman Who Invented Freud's Talking Cure! Guest panel with @gabebrownstein, @jonstoneneuro & Bridget Mildon. Visit: fndhope.org/events/the-sec…

This is going to be such an interesting event. @gabebrownstein has integrated what’s happened in the field of FND over the last 20 years with the extraordinary story of feminist Bertha Pappenheim - also known as Anna O - who “ invented” but then rejected Freud’s talking cure

@AmandaFNDHope @PerezMGHLab @jonstoneneuro And I am very excited to talk with you, @AmandaFNDHope , and with Bridget, and with @jonstoneneuro!

@PerezMGHLab @gabebrownstein Really excited to talk with @gabebrownstein, @jonstoneneuro, and Bridget Mildon at the FND Hope virtual book release event on April 18th!

Meanwhile, @PasteMagazine loves me, and now I love them too. pastemagazine.com/books/nonficti…

In other prepublication reviews, Kirkus compared me to Oliver Sacks, talked about FND, but didn't like this book as much as they liked The Open Heart Club. kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/g…

Publishers Weekly also did this very kind interview with me: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/au…
