About this title

Reviews

Beginning with the premises that most people in developed nations die from chronic illnesses, and that the illness rather than the issues surrounding the ill person have been better addressed, the authors effectively argue for home health care. They show how the hospital-based system fundamentally fails the needs of the chronically sick because it ignores the nonmedical aspects such as personal support. Reviewing the recent medical and sociological literature, they postulate a definition of chronic illness, and analyze its various stages. Though the writing is colorless and sometimes repetitive, the book presents a persuasive case. Jack Forman, Mesa Coll. Lib., San Diego
