The editors of this book quickly point out that it is intended to meet a need created "by the intensification in teaching in health and health matters to teachers in training, to equip them more effectively to teach health in schools" and that it also is of value to students of social work, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and the social sciences, as well as the medical undergraduate and perhaps even graduate physicians. In large part they have achieved their aim. Reflecting much of the thinking of Australia, they have retained the knack of many writers of their mother country in getting the most out of the written word.
