Georges Gilles de la Tourette
Beyond the Eponym
By Olivier Walusinski, MD
• Contains never-before-published correspondence and documentation from the Gilles de la Tourette family archive
• Covers the life of Gilles de la Tourette, his medical career, his historical and artistic pursuits, and his bibliography
• First comprehensive biography of the noteworthy physician
This biography is the first comprehensive volume to delve into the life, scholarship, writing, and hobbies of the famed doctor. In Part One, we learn Georges’ family history, follow his schooling and mentorship under Charcot, travel to the Worlds Fair of 1900, evade an attempted assassination, all before succumbing to death by syphilis. Part Two provides an in-depth analysis of his neurological and psychiatric works, notably the epynomous neurological disorder that will forever remain.
Author Olivier Walusinski pulls together unpublished family archives, Georges’
correspondence with the Parisian journalist Georges Montorgueil, journal articles, and police archives to shed an original light on the famed doctor’s life and lasting legacy.
