Intriguing story of a man who removed himself to the woods of Maine and lived completely without human contact for 27 years. There is excellent psychology content. A main them is a (tentative) diagnosis of Asperger’s. I believe there is good illustration of relevant behaviors in this story. There is also excellent social psychology. He illustrates the social construction of self-concept in his description of trying to explore his sense of self and realizing that his lack of others with whom to interact, his sense of self rather vanished.
