The mentally ill are looked upon as people who have stepped outside normal intercourse and this fact itself often accentuates and perpetuates the trouble. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

In speaking of the medical profession I must not be thought to be speaking at the same time of the individual men and women who make it up: In their case, as in so many others, the psychology of the profession as a whole is not the sum of its individual parts. All we have to do is look up the number of visitors to Great Britain during one year and assume they would make the same use of the Health Service as a similar number of Britishers.

The philosophical approach adds heft, illuminating but never obscuring: Spens is admirably sparing with technical terms, which keeps the narrative engaging and considered. On the other hand, it is my experience that unorthodox practitioners are often the worst quacks, and when offered a fair hearing, unwilling to expose themselves to the disciplines of controlled experiment and verification. This sustains my contention that no government that attempts to destroy the Health Service can hope to command the support of the British people.
