The Woman Who Cracked the Anxiety Code : The Extraordinary Life of Dr Claire Weekes by Judith Hoare Carol Middleton , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , April no. 420 2020;
— Review of The Woman Who Cracked the Anxiety Code : The Extraordinary Life of Dr Claire Weekes Judith Hoare , 2020 single work biography

'On Boxing Day 1962, The Australian Women’s Weekly opened with a two-page spread on a new publication, Self Help for Your Nerves, by Sydney physician Dr Claire Weekes. Her four precepts for people suffering from ‘nerves’ appeared in huge, bold type: facing, accepting, floating, and letting time pass. Positive reviews followed, including one by Max Harris in ABR’s December 1962 issue. Wary of the ‘help yourself psychiatry’ genre, Harris was quickly persuaded by its ‘particular excellence’. The book went on to become a bestseller in the US and UK markets, and Weekes followed it up with four more.' (Introduction)
