Reviews

`Review from previous edition Gillett's book is a serious and morally sensitive attempt to weld two approaches into a harmony, avoiding crude materialist reduction on the one hand and naïve sentimentality, or an irrationalist slide into post-modernism, on the other... This is a work of significance, and its comprehensiveness and the depth and subtlety of its analyses of central domains of psychiatry moves the growing literature in this genre one more step forward. ' Rom Harre, Medical Humanities Review


Overall a great achievement and a substantial contribution to the (ethically) right theorisation of psychiatry. Andrew Hodgkiss, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
