What happens when the mind's gatekeeper fails? Pathology of Attention presents a rigorous and penetrating scientific examination of attention disorders, chronicling the ways in which disruptions to this fundamental cognitive process manifest across a spectrum of psychological and neurological conditions. Andrew McGhie situates the reader at the intersection of clinical observation and experimental psychology, detailing how failures of attentional control underpin a remarkable range of human dysfunctions—from schizophrenia to brain injury—with clarity and scientific authority. McGhie's work stands as a landmark contribution to the Penguin Science of Behaviour series, a collection celebrated for making serious psychological science accessible to a broad, intellectually curious readership. His writing is precise yet compelling, grounding complex neuropsychological theory in observable, human terms that resonate far beyond the laboratory. A foundational text for students and professionals alike, Pathology of Attention leaves one asking a deeply unsettling question: if attention is what constructs our reality, what world do those without it truly inhabit?
