Historic Book Collection

The Historic Book Collection Featured Authors

As a collection created by general practitioners choosing and donating those works that they thought that current and future general practitioners should read - it is heavily weighted to inspirational general practitioners such as the researchers Sir James Mackenzie  and William Pickles (see Pickles page) and those such as Michael Balint (see Balint and RCGP page) and the Tavistock school who had  a fundamental influence on the doctor-patient relations.
