 Author’s Note
 Although this book is based on the author’s experiences as a psychiatricnurse, it is a fictional account. The characters and situations which appearin the work are synthesised from a large number of observations madeduring a twelve year clinical career. The author makes no attempt tofactually report the actions of any particular person (living or dead), or tofactually represent the structure and processes of any particular mentalhealth unit. Similarity is therefore co-incidental.The author acknowledges that the challenging assertions made in thisbook are based on his personal views and subjective experience, ratherthan the objective truth. He recognises that the background events whichinspired this novel, as well as the fictional world created, may not betypical of mental health units around the U.K.He also acknowledges the serious nature of mental disorder itself, andaccepts that satire may be considered a strange form of analysis. But forthose who have worked through the tragedies and comedies of a psychiatricsetting, the choice may be easier to understand
. They will have learnt that people often overlook significant issues until they are uncomfortably amplified.
 Above all, the author asserts his right to express an honest opinion onmatters of public interest.

I would say that 'responsibility phobia' is a new epidemic. This book is getting splendid. It's great to get to know Steve.
