The Power of Failure - Developing Resilience in a Mad World

This book looks at the influence a lifetime of patients has had on retired consultant psychiatrist Dr Tim Cantopher. It explores the profound, often moving, inter-relation between `healer' and `wounded', and examines how the two may overlap sometimes more than might be expected.
