patients' names have been encrypted on principle. The abbreviations of pseudonyms have been chosen in such a way that the same person, and their relationship to their relatives, remain recognisable throughout the book.
Comments on individuals appear in the footnotes at the first appearance of their name (cf. Index of Names). In order to facilitate

These not only draw the reader's attention to questionable readings of the manuscript, but also indicate deletions, corrections and alterations, as far as this could be important to the understanding of the text.
