Mechanisms of Cutaneous Sensation

There are a number of serious shortcomings in the book. The title "Primer for the Psychotherapist" is quite misleading as this suggests that it contains an account of basic skills for psychotherapists but, in fact, it indicates that the non-medical psychotherapist should be able to differentiate between such conditions as duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Parkinson's disease and thyrotoxicosis. The description of the organic and pyschological illnesses in this book are very simplistic and without good background knowledge and information could lead to many clinical misdiagnoses and difficulties. Because of these two serious shortcomings I feel this book should not be used without adequate control and supervision by the lay psychotherapist. ECO'G
