William Styron's *Darkness Visible *is a compelling memoir of the author's depression. *Elegy for Iris* (John Bayley) is a memoir of Iris Murdoch's final years with Alzheimer's disease. *Still Alice* (Lisa Genova) is a fiction book, written by a neuroscience Ph.D.
Three off the top of my head. Some fiction works are deeply psychological. Jorge Luis Borges has a short story (Funes the Memorious) that describes the life of a man who forgets nothing (interesting contrast to Schacter's discussions of the value of forgetting in *The Seven Sins of Memory*). Then there is the fiction of Henry James . . . but that might be a bit much to take on! :-) He is an acquired taste. Claudia _____________________________________________ Claudia J.
