Reviews

The case-notes are fascinating if sometimes rather gruesome reading, admirably set in context and interestingly discussed. The analysis is meticulous, insightful and wide-ranging even if I do not agree with all of the conclusions, and the book is an extremely valuable addition to the literature, particularly for a very welcome consideration of outcomes as well as the development of knowledge and practice.
