Balancing The Self provides a detailed study of the abstract concept of ‘balance’ in individual health. Each chapter provides an interesting and well-researched case study into the changing understandings and approaches to balance. Furthermore, the volume itself is well-balanced, providing a mixture of medical and political history, with an even focus across the century. The strength of the individual chapters proves this work to be useful to any scholar with an interest in selfhood and twentieth-century Britain. Louise Morgan, Social History of Medicine -- .
