Reviews

Winner of the 1991 William H. Welch Medal, American Association for the History of Medicine Combining a prodigiously researched and thoroughly fascinating depiction of actual nineteenth-century therapy with a sophisticated and widely applicable model of scientific change, The Therapeutic Perspective is a superb book, likely to become a classic in the literature of medical history. --Martin S. Pernick, Science Warner tells his story in powerful and lucid ... prose... [He] has written an important and radical book. --Steven Shapin, The Times Higher Education Supplement [The Therapeutic Perspective] is a clearly written and well-organized analytic study that should bring much credit to its author, for he has made far more understandable an important aspect of our history. --Gert H. Brieger, M.D., Journal of the American Medical Association [Warner] pursues a sophisticated argument with extraordinary diligence, thus producing a carefully crafted book... Judged by its methodology, insights, presentation, and prose, this book ranks as a model of American scholarship. --Dora B. Weiner, Social History of Medicine
