This vivid memoir presents adventures from the life of Barbara A.
Wilson, an internationally honoured scientist who played an
influential role in the development of neuropsychological
rehabilitation at a time when the scientific field was dominated by
men. As a follow-up to the highly successful Story of a Clinical
Neuropsychologist, this book includes a host of memories, both
personal and professional, which focus on Barbara’s development of
her career as a woman in science. From childhood recollections and
travels in Africa, to lifetime achievement awards and the restrictions
of global pandemics, Barbara tells the story of her full and varied
life and her unparalleled career in neuropsychological rehabilitation.
Her book indicates that one can lead a meaningful and full life even
after one of the most awful of losses, the death of a child, and also
emphasizes the need to stick to one’s principles in trying times.
The result is an unparalleled insight into the life of a clinical
neuropsychologist, which can encourage the next generation of
professionals who are trying to balance career, international travel
and family, as well as inspire any girls interested in entering the
world of science.
