"It is a well thought-out book that attempts to place the concept of medical plurality and especially 'multiplicity' in a more complex situation in Bhutan today... The book is comprised of five chapters, written in rich ethnographic style and anthropological analyses." ? Newbooks.asia
"The Patient Multiple is a refreshing account of healing narratives in a medical plural context. It is a wonderful and insightful read, written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience, blending rich description and grounded analysis. Furthermore, beautiful photographs taken by the author accompany and complement the text. In sum, the book is very well suited for students at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels and is an important contribution for those interested in medical pluralism and the shifting healing landscape in the Himalayan region." ? Medical Anthropology Quarterly
"...the book is clearly structured and includes several photographs that visually underline the ethnographic accounts...[It] offers a welcome contribution to the medical anthropological literature on 'patient-hood' and the multiplicity this involves on the ground. With its accessibility and detailed ethnographic examples, it makes a good read for undergraduate courses in medical anthropology and anybody working in or concerned with public health in Asia." ? Anthropos
"This book is a welcome pioneering ethnography based on case studies that demonstrate a clear understanding of the way in which public health care services in Bhutan integrate both biomedical and 'traditional' medicine." ? Mona Schrempf, Free University, Berlin
"This is a timely and much needed study on the relationship between traditional and modern medicine in Bhutan that is grounded in a rich, nuanced ethnographic study." ? Richard Whitecross, Edinburgh Napier University
