The Child and His Symptoms: A Psychosomatic Approach

CLEMENT A. SMITH M.D.

Here are two good books by British pediatricians They interest the American reader, but they also puzzle him. He recognizes in them the breadth of experience and the clinical skill he has so often noted on the ward rounds and in the writings of his British colleagues. He wishes he found a little more evidence of these qualities in the American medical literature. But he wonders also whether the British medical student may be tempted to learn about sick children from such books alone, and how much the British doctor uses such books in the diagnosis and treatment of his pediatric patients.
