Peter Annesley | 2 comments I read this book in 2019 and I believe it had been published recently in at least the 2010's.

It's generally about his client base and their issues. Each chapter is sort of a short story about each client and the lessons we can learn about them.

In one their is a young girl who is struggling to get along/communicate with her family and a colleague of his mentions at then end how often as child patients get better their family/parents often end up looking worse, or acting more stressed as they get better.

He also talks about realising when talking a young boy earlier in his career that he couldn't make everyone 'better/cured' as they have learning differences extra.
