HarperCollins Heavens Coast A Memoir
Book SynopsisThe year is 1989 and Mark Doty''s life has reached a state of enviable equilibrium. His reputation as a poet of formidable talent is growing, he enjoys his work as a college professor and, perhaps most importantly, he is deeply in love with his partner of many years, Wally Roberts. The harmonious existence these two men share is shattered, however, when they learn that Wally has tested positive for the HIV virus. From diagnosis to the initial signs of deterioration to the heartbreaking hour when Wally is released from his body''s ruined vessel, Heaven''s Coastis an intimate chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts. We witness Doty''s passage through the deepest phase of grief -- letting his lover go while keeping him firmly alive in memory and heart -- and, eventually beyond, to the slow reawakening of the possibilities of pleasure. Part memoir, part journal, part elegy for a life of rare communication and beauty, Heaven''s Coast evinces the sa

Penguin Publishing Group The Unexpected Journey
Book SynopsisFrom Emma Heming Willis, wife of Bruce Willis, adeeply personal and richly compassionate support guide that helps caregivers care for themselves while they navigate a loved one''s dementia.AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVERThe day Emma Heming Willis? husband Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), all they were given was a pamphlet and told to check back in a few months. With no hope or direction, Emma walked out of that doctor?s appointment frozen with fear, confusion and a sense that her world had just fallen apart.In fact, it had. Bruce and Emma had their story written, their future mapped out. Yet all those dreams crumbled with that diagnosis, and Emma felt alone and more isolated than ever. How would she care for her husband while parenting their young daughters and protecting her family?s privacy?At that devastating time, Emma just wanted someone who''d been through it to tell her, ?This feels terrible right now. Your life is in shambles. But it?s going to be okay. Here are some things to think about and put in place so you can not just survive but thrive.?With The Unexpected Journey, Emma has written the book she wishes she?d had: a guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking, and transformative experience that is caregiving for your loved one with dementia. Weaving her personal journey as a care partner with the latest research and insights from the world?s top dementia and caregiving experts, she offers the guidance and wisdom caregivers everywhere so desperately need to hear, including: Getting a specific diagnosis is crucial. You should understand how your loved one?s brain changes with dementia. Taking care of yourself is not optional; it''s mandatory. It will make you a better care partner. It?s not selfish, it?s self-preserving. You don?t have a choice about being on this dementia caregiving journey. But you do have a choice in terms of how you approach it and reframe it. Caregivers are human. You aren?t always patient and selfless, you have challenges and struggle with conflicting emotions?and that?s okay. Ultimately, The Unexpected Journey shows you how to care for yourself while doing one of the hardest, mostheartbreaking jobs in the world. Because if you don?t take care of yourself, you are not going to be able to look after anyone else?especially your loved one with dementia.For anyone caregiving for a loved one with any form of dementia, and even for those caregiving for other conditions, The Unexpected Journey shows that you are not alone. As Emma writes, ?I know that no two caregiving journeys are the same, but we are connected by the same unchosen thread. It?s not an easy path for you, your loved one or your family. But I?m here to let you know that you are not alone, and, in time, you will be okay.?

Jason Aronson, Inc. Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death
Book SynopsisIn Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Treatment, Dr. Norman Straker proposes that âœdeath anxietyâ is responsible for the American societyâs failure to address costly futile care at the end of life.Trade ReviewIn Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death, the psychoanalyst Norman Straker...enriches the work enormously by allowing us to look into the minds of cancer patients, some our own colleagues, as they face these difficult and painful times. . . .[T]he varying voices combine to create an emotionally meaningful, deeply intelligent work. I think everyone, and not just therapists, should read this book. We all face death, many of us in the specter of cancer, and the experiences, difficulties, and resolutions described here could help us navigate the challenging times. * Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association *In this compilation of essays, Norman Straker of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and his colleagues offers helpful perspectives into the widespread death anxiety that affects individual health care decisions as well as large-scale policy imperatives. ... The reader is provided with a unique opportunity to peer inside varying states of existential threat, guided by analysts of superior psychological insight. ... On the whole, the text is succinct, well written, and wide ranging in its sources of knowledge while staying grounded in psychiatric theory. Palliative care clinicians will likely find this book to be interesting and helpful. The issue of deciding the optimal use of the psychoanalytic frame (and which rules to break) has relevance for palliative care consultants who often navigate the difficult waters of end-oflife decision making. The psychiatric perspective featured in the book provides palliative care clinicians with a refreshing approach to understanding complex psychodynamics in various clinical settings. The personal essays as well as case presentations are bracing in their honesty and are invaluable sources of insight for all who care for seriously ill patients. * Palliative Medicine *The issues dealt with in this book are topical and real. It was interesting to read about the psychological needs in end-of-life care from a slightly different angle (i.e. by psychoanalysts), and the potential benefits of palliative care as viewed from outside our specialty. * IAHPC Newsletter *This is a much needed and remarkable book that is a must read for all therapists who treat cancer patients, and those therapists who unexpectedly may be facing the prospect of their own mortality. The elegiac and moving narratives of analysts treating cancer patients, and analysts who become cancer patients themselves, can profoundly inform and shape the reader’s appreciation of the need for flexibility of technique in these situations. The reader will also derive great benefit from Dr. Straker’s summary conclusions and recommendations, distilled from these stories and from his thirty five years of experience as a psychoanalyst working in the field of psycho-oncology. -- Stephen M. Saravay M.D., American Academy of Psychosomatic MedicineThis book provides a deeply personal yet strongly academic perspective on the experience of cancer. Dr. Straker has assembled a group of professionals who openly share their knowledge and experience. The depth of Dr. Straker's scholarly understanding envelopes the other contributions and provides an informed psychoanalytic framework. The book will be valuable to those who work with cancer patients and will be extremely useful in the education of trainees. -- Philip Muskin M.D., Columbia University Medical CenterAnxiety over dealing with death and the dying process affects patients, their families, friends, and physicians, often leading to inadequate and unsatisfying management of this inevitable, natural life event. The results of not dealing with “the elephant in the room” can have long-term adverse consequences on the survivors, including the physicians caring for the patient. Posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, guilt, and alcohol abuse may be the unfortunate legacies of dealing with death anxiety poorly. Dr. Norman Straker, who has devoted much of his career to managing the psychological needs of patients with cancer, as well as their families and caregivers, has produced a superb book on defining the causes and management of death anxiety. Using a combination of psychiatric theory, research results, and in-depth case studies, he and his colleagues present practical, flexible approaches to dealing with death and death anxiety in cancer patients. It is a book that will be especially useful to oncologists, radiation therapists, internists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and others who deal with death and dying. -- Glen D.
