Typo, page 263 - "...and the ability to chose between alternative courses of action."

The short and frequently lighthearted essays on mental disorders are lacking in one key detail: a list of citations. Youngson alludes to the commonality of certain afflictions or uses figures in history as examples, but provides no evidence, either footnote or citation, as to where he got his precedent. I would especially like to know where he discovered "...the bite of a Tarantula spider is completely harmless!"

Annie Wilks would appreciate this book, I think.
