About this title

Synopsis

Famed psychotherapist Albert Ellis, & psychologist Michael Abrams show how the dying person can stave off depression & seize what opportunities for enjoyment are still available. Even when terminal cancer, AIDS, or other death-dealing afflictions strike, people have choices & they can learn how to cope, & to enjoy their remaining days. Shows how to deal with guilt & anger & put an end to hysteria. Reveals how friends & loved ones who panic over impending death may harmfully influence the one they grieve for, to impose needless suffering, & may foster terror & withdrawal from healthy involvements. Their heartwarming stories of successful coping by the celebrated & the obscure offer the reader comfort & aid at a time when both are sorely needed.
