Abstract: This useful book is a comprehensive and holistic guide for counselors, social workers, and health care professionals as they assist clients experiencing a serious illness. The book builds on a model developed by the author, based upon earlier work by Avery Weisman and E. M. Patterson. The model views illness as a series of phases: "Prediagnostic: individuals may decide how to handle troubling symptoms or to take certain diagnostic tests"; Diagnostic: centered on the existential crises posed by the diagnosis; "Chronic: individuals must cope with the disease and treatment"; Recovery: acknowledges that even when individuals survive an encounter with life-threatening illness, there are still considerable issues that must be resolved; "Terminal: individuals deal with the inevitability of death. In his discussion of each phase, the author delineates specific tasks or issues that individuals must adapt to, and strategies for counselors and health care professionals to counsel individuals with life-threatening illnesses.
