Biography

Simon R. Wilkinson

This book makes an important contribution to the way disease is conceptualised... I will value having this book in my shelf and will come back to it both to improve my understanding of difficult patients, to reflect on the need for a supporting environment, and to be more aware of what I myself do as a clinician. - Carmen Pinto, European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2004

Strengths of this book include the broad range of well referenced topics that are covered, together with the refreshingly personal style of writing. This is an author who really wants to enrich and transform the clinical reasoning of his readers... the book is highly recommended for anyone interested in new and creative ways of looking at interpersonal patterns in medicine from a psychotherapeutically informed point of view. - P Henningsen, Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2004
