In January, 1983 Betsy Schnell Comtess was living her dream life in
San Diego, California. A recent graduate of The Ohio State
University (Dental Hygiene), she'd just turned 24 and was poised to
accomplish a range of goals she'd set for herself. That all
dramatically changed when she suffered a stroke that left her
unable to handle the most basic of daily functions. Her goals
changed from traveling the world to learning how to walk again. Her
interactions with others and her surrounding environment
experienced redefinition. This book, co-authored with Dr. Jim
Schnell, focuses on how her interpersonal communication processes
experienced redefinition and her sense of self was altered as well.
Dr. Schnell's expertise with communication theory, coupled with his
witness to her recovery and daily functioning, is used to ably
interpret the evolution of her life in this regard. Ultimately a
message of hope, this book serves as guide to those who have
suffered a stroke and the families that support them. How we
understand the world we communicate with is very much a matter of
what we expect that world to be.
