Sommario/riassunto

This is an excellent and enlightened book, simple and yet complex. The editors have wisely chosen papers which address basic concerns about what happens when working with patients in the consulting room. The



ways these basic concerns are taken up are clearly described, with plenty of examples, and are always dealt with great thoughtfulness.
