This controversial book argues that the level and quality of psychological care offered in most general hospitals is surprisingly low and that the impersonal treatment-oriented approach that is prevalent today can actually generate or intensify psychological damage. Written for all health care professionals, this book explains what can be done and how to do it, offering specific, hands-on instruction in the basic skills of emotional care and counseling. The text is exemplified with case histories, transcripts, actual dialogs between doctor/nurse and client as well as questions and answers.
208 pages. Paper Edition Only. ISBN 0-914783-06-8.
