Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Ex. - Englisch. // 'This is an extremely valuable book. Despite all of the improvements in outlook and changes in attitude towards it, cancer still faces those who suffer from it, and those who care for and are close to them, with a unique challenge. This book helps to meet that challenge on many levels. Rooted in psychoanalytic understanding, it is at the same time multifaceted. It brings together outstanding contributions from medical, psychological, and spiritual perspectives and shows the creativity that those confronting cancer may discover in themselves. The chapters are impressive individually, and taken together they offer a fresh and rich view of the "topic of cancer". Truly a book to be grateful for.' -Michael Parsons, British Psychoanalytical Society, and author of The Dove that Returns, The Dove that Vanishes: Paradox and Creativity in Psychoanalysis. ?
