In "Notes on a Difficult Case," Ruthann Robson details the traumatic results of a dangerous misdiagnosis; in "A Merging of Head and Heart," Judith Dancoff discusses her painful sexual dysfunction—a result of a pituitary tumor; and in "Postpartum," Nancy Linnon reveals her struggles with Postpartum depression.

Sometimes diversity means what you weigh or where you were educated." --Lee Gutkind, Editor of Creative Nonfiction --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
