Reviews for the original edition:
‘This study clearly touches on a variety of questions which are of great importance to the running of the health services, but it also raises issues of profound and basic importance to the understanding of how society today deals rationally and (very properly) magically, with what it defines as illness.’ –Griffith Edwards, New Society
