5.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and sensitive help for people facing acute illness,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Cope With a Fatal Illness: The Rational Management of Death and Dying (Paperback)
This book is pleasantly free of jargon and psychological intricacy. Instead it uses lay language and examples to demonstate that fatal and life threatening illnesses need not always lead to despair. Ellis and Abrams make the application of cognitive behavioral techniques readily attainable. Both authors are psychologists who have worked with large number of people who have faced death. Their experience is apparent in this work
