Example text
Perhaps my saving graces have been that I am a good listener and not too dogmatic about theory. As a result several of my patients have succeeded in teaching me a great deal I did not know. .

Jim struggled throughout his life, farmed not very successfully for a while, and never married. It seemed contrary to the Bowlby family ethos to have a family member who was not a ‘success’. JB’s combination of competitiveness and his concern for disadvantaged and sick children may be not unrelated to his position between these two very different brothers.
