The Deepening Shade: Psychological Aspects of Life-threatening Illness"The Deepening Shade" is an elegant synthesis of the psychology of life-threatening illness. The book's evocative power derives from the interweaving of clinical conceptualization with the words of patients and family members. Rather than focusing on death, Sourkes explores "living" with a life-threatening illness. |
