Research/ Publications Since shortly after graduation in 1966 I have devoted part of my working week to teaching and research. For many of the research projects in which I have been involved my contributions have been on the levels of initial literature research and identifying the question to be answered. I have also actively contributed and participated in the clinical activity involved in allowing the research to be completed. I have not made any grant applications in my own name but have enjoyed a long, fruitful and ongoing relationship with my co-authors. 1. Watts T. L. P., Palmer R. M. & Floyd P. D. (1986)
