Thanks to Graham Towl for the tribute. David was a great Psychologist, a frequent contributor to the magazine over the years, and generous with his time and expertise during my PhD. As Graham says, "He will be so missed."

Very sad to hear about the passing away of John Hodge, former head of psychology at Rampton; a much valued and trailblazing colleague with more than his fair share of humility. He will be missed.

Wonderful short piece explains why you can't trust medical guidelines.

3)too much love for pet diagnosis 4)overvalue own opinions
