Abstract

Brian Broom Somatic Illness and the Patient's Other Story, London, Free Association Books, 1997. $48.95.

It was a pleasure to be asked to review this book, published by Free Association Books, London. I congratulate Brian on having found a place to express his clinical experience and ideas in the wider world of Europe and North America. It reduces the sense of isolation and self-absorption which I experience in our current cultural climate, as we struggle to come to terms with the events of our past.
