“There have been several major advances in psychiatry in the decade since Human Behaviour in Illness was first written, and the opportunity of a new edition has been taken to revise certain sections of the book, and to bring it up to date.
This book was conceived as a primer for nurses, but it has reached a far wider public which includes most members of the health team, particularly social workers, medical students, psychologists, occupational therapists and others, as well as intelligent laymen.  This is not really surprising as the subject is, of course, relevant to all of them.  Because of this general interest, we have made additions and alterations to make it more truly apposite to these wider needs.”
