In 1976, Patrick Byrne and Barrie Long published a path-breaking study of the doctor–patient relationship. Based on some 2,500 taperecorded primary care encounters,Doctors Talking to Patients anatomized the medical visit into a series of stages, and developed an elaborate characterization of doctor behaviors in each of them. Drawing on Michael Balint’s (1957) proposal that the primary care visi...

Alex Byrne (2005; 2011a; 2011b; 2011c and 2012) offers a novel interpretation of the idea that the mind is transparent to its possessor, and that one knows one’s own mind by looking out at the world.
