This slim, elegantly written volume by Nancy Nyquist Potter is by
far the most clinically relevant and practical of the several such
books I have reviewed...Potter's well-written volume provides solid
philosophical grounding and considerable clinical guidance for our
best efforts to help this too-often-maligned group of fellow human
beings.
*John Edward Ruark, American Psychological Association*
...Nancy Potter has produced an incisive and thoughtful analysis of
one of the ethically and clinically troubling problems of
psychiatry...Mapping the Edges and In-between is a fine example of
careful philosophical analysis.
