In And Another Thing: Memories of Family Life with a Psychiatrist, Elizabeth Fenwick, wife and co-author of neuropsychologist Peter Fenwick, presents a collection of reflections on family life in London in the twentieth century. Originally written as a series of essays for "World Medicine", a leisure magazine for doctors which, under its editor Michael O'Donnell, "World Medicine" established itself as the most entertaining - and in terms of medical politics - the most irreverent and radical medical magazine of the 1970s.


Elizabeth suggests it's a memoire, "a sort of potted autobiography without the boring bits". And boring it is not. It is both witty and perceptive; qualities that come out of close but affectionate observation of the small details and big anomalies of human life in all its forms.

Fenwick, Elizabeth: - Elizabeth Fenwick's adolescent dreams of becoming a doctor began to crumble soon after she went up to Cambridge and discovered the reality of the medical course, including anatomy with real corpses, held no attraction at all. However, she did accidentally discover the perfect solution. Marry someone who really does want to be a doctor and you get to know all the interesting bits without any of the hard work.Elizabeth and Peter Fenwick married soon after he qualified as a neuropsychiatrist, and have now had nearly 60 years together, with three children and nine grandchildren. She has written several books on sexual problems, parenthood and childcare, and, together with her husband, on death, dying and end of life experiences. They still live in the house in south London which they bought soon after they were married but have spent most of the last Covid years in the safe haven of their Scottish holiday home.
