In a compelling conclusion, ethical standards for equitable health-care delivery are proposed, emphasizing the importance of religious faith and community care in achieving justice in health services.

Martin Sturrock desperately needs a psychiatrist. The problem? He is one. Emily is a traumatised burns victim, and Arta a Kosovan refugee recovering from a rape. Very different Londoners, but they share one thing: every week they spend an hour at the Prince Regent hospital, revealing the secrets of their psyche to Professor Martin Sturrock. Little do they know that Sturrock's own mind is not the reassuring place they believe it to be. For years he has hidden in his work, ignoring his demons. But now his life is falling apart, and as his ghosts come back to haunt him, the only person he can turn to is a patient.
