The review was published in Disability and Society and I am not allowed to circulate my downloaded copy to everyone on the list. I have copied the text of the review to you below.

Hopefully the food will be there and people can help themselves. There have been some interesting developments respecting the history of Eric Irwin (1924-1987), the main survivor founder of the Mental Patients Union in 1973, which I think we may want to talk about.
