Synopsis

None of us could survive in the workplace, community, or even in our homes, if we allowed everyone to see how truly vulnerable we are. Yet, social support is a necessity if we are to achieve whatever it is we set out to achieve in this life. "No human being is an island unto himself." "Social Support: A Reflection of Humanity" is a "how to" book. In this work, the authors examine the nature of social support, how it can be offered, and how social support differs from other forms of therapy.

About the Author

Harold Ivan Smith (Author)

From the Inside Flap

"Jack Morgan and his colleagues focus with laser accuracy on our cultures' need to embrace and support all persons when finally, in their life's journeys, they are called upon to become vulnerable. It is in our care that we in turn are then cared for, together patient and care giver then discover the intent of creation. This is a very important book for all persons who seek to be there one for another."
Robert J. Campbell, D.Min., DD

"This book is about providing clarity on issues and needs, positive reinforcement for what is already working and also dares to demand of us that we do more and do it better. Anthologies can be problematic because they facilitate many thoughts and many contributors. This is one anthology that offers you something in every chapter."
Rev. Dr. Richard B. Gilbert , BCC, Executive Director, Resources Hotline, Volume 4, Number 28, December 2001
