| Paperback edition by Jeff Kane, M.D. This book shows how anyone can ease the suffering of the seriously ill through his only his or her empathetic and informed presence. Kane, a physician, explains for all types of caregivers—family, friends, physicians, nurses, hospital and doctor office staff members—how to develop a dramatically effective “bedside manner.” Everyone who has asked the question “How can I help?” will find new ways of treating the ill. Readers will learn to look beyond the disease itself, aiding the sick person to come to a sense of peace and those with chronic or terminal illness to live optimally with the illness. With a foreword by Larry Dossey, M.D., this guide explains the role of spiritual meaning in health and illness, allowing readers to develop a therapeutic relationship with the sick that alleviates suffering and aids healing. Chapters also cover special exercises for coping with the complex and conflicting emotions that can accompany serious illness; listening for meaning in the words of the afflicted; using one's eyes, ears, and heart when observing the ill; welcoming the opportunity for personal growth that sickness can bring; and healing oneself. 6 X 9, 208 pages, Paperback, ISBN 1-58115-267-1. |
