Reviews

'Martin Halliwell has here marked out for our consideration a small but potent group of twentieth-century psychological theorists/practitioners whose 'romantic science' sought to reconcile and heal modernity's dualistic fractures, particularly the separation between art and science, and between knowledge and morality.' Wilfred M. McClay, SunTrust Professor of Humanities, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga '[Halliwell] addresses the way in which healers regard and interact with patients in historical and cultural context, making this book worth of a place in medical education generally, as well as in cultural history and psychiatry... this is a book for which many readers - clinicians and patients, teachers and students, historians and philosophers - will give thanks for years to come.' Bull. Hist. Med. 'Martin Halliwell [frames] the development of the self as a theoretical construct within twentieth-century humanities... he exposes both the creative tensions and the inexorable weakness inherent to this intrinsically hybrid tradition.' Hist. Phil. Life Sci.
