About this title

Synopsis

Depression, redefining roles, preventing emotional exhaustion, maintaining intimacy--these psychological issues are discussed along with social problems and helpful advice for every family involved in such a crisis, no matter what the specific illness may be.

Reviews

Directed to families confronted with a long-term health crisis, this book offers practical advice and encouragement effectively illustrated by realistic vignettes of personality changes, depression, and financial difficulties. Recognizing that illness is a family affair, the authors describe the feelings of isolation and helplessness that envelop the entire family unit. And they outline excellent coping strategies for adjusting to the changes wrought by devastating illness. Included are clear, succinct suggestions for establishing positive relationships with physicians and becoming a knowledgeable consumer of health care. There are no startling revelations, but the writing style and simplified explanations will have particular appeal to readers with limited educational backgrounds.
