And Another Thing: Memories of Family Life with a Psychiatrist

In And Another Thing: Memories of Family Life with a Psychiatrist, Elizabeth Fenwick, wife and co-author of neuropsychologist Peter Fenwick, presents a collection of reflections on family life in London in the twentieth century. Originally written as a series of essays for "World Medicine", a leisure magazine for doctors which, under its editor Michael O'Donnell, "World Medicine" established itself as the most entertaining - and in terms of medical politics - the most irreverent and radical medical magazine of the 1970s.




Elizabeth suggests it's a memoire, "a sort of potted autobiography without the boring bits". And boring it is not. It is both witty and perceptive; qualities that come out of close but affectionate observation of the small details and big anomalies of human life in all its forms.
