Neurologist Oliver Sacks' 1985 book The Man Who Mistook His Partner for a Hat challenges the impersonal way doctors required to patient attention and paved the way for a fresh literary genre: popular research. At the time of its publication, neurologists and medical professionals relied mainly on professional medical studies and their own competence to create the course of treatment. Sacks found this inhumane and developed an extremely different approach, plainly exhibited in The Man Who Mistook His Partner. He provides rich, narrative circumstance studies of his patients, thinking that neurology possessed lost eyesight of the high personal costs paid by people that have neurological disorders. To this end, Sacks centers how patients manage these disorders and their changed sense of do it yourself. Sacks talks of "passionate research", casting the patients in his 24 circumstance studies almost as literary heroes and heroines, and borrowing from the realms of fine art, literature, and psychology to take action. This new way proved extremely popular. As Sacks himself said, "To my intense surprise this book hit some nerve in the reading people, and became an instant best retailer."
