Reviews
"A fascinating book. ...Demonstrates powerfully that storytelling is central to psychiatric practice, as indeed it is arguably to areas of medical practice. ...I highly commend this book to all, including patients who may well find it helpful." - Chrism (The Journal of the Guild of Health & St Raphael)
