Review:

An intelligent book that cuts through the jargon put about by drug companies and the media alike. * Rise * Patmore's book is a welcome antidote... It is time to accept that stress theory has gone too far. * Daily Telegraph * Patmore's erudition and industry are impressive, as is her range of reference - from Aristotle to T. S. Eliot. * Sunday Telegraph * The more Patmore writes, the more I like her... Her writing is full of fire and her examples of stress accoutrements are wonderfully wry. * New Statesman *
