Professor G.E. Berrios, Cambridge University: 'Intellectual autobiographies contribute greatly to historical understanding. Good ones are also pleasurable to read. Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond captures a period of change in psychiatry. The great and the good are depicted strutting on the metropolitan stage showing the rest of us how things psychiatric should be done. Natural modesty has impeded Professor Nick Bouras from talking about the crucial role he himself played in the changes he describes.'
