You're returning home from a conference at the other end of the
county, switch on the answering machine at two in the morning and
hear the words, "I'm dying." First, you know it just can't be
true-she's been a hypochondriac all her life-but this time it may
be. How do you literally drop a full life overnight to run a home
hospice? This book is written by a younger sister, a
psychotherapist and Psychosynthesis trainer. It's a story we all
need to know as the population grows older, and most become
caregivers in the home at some point. Included are many useful
quotes, references from experts like James Pennebacker and Steven
Levine, and the author's reflections. CYNTHIA PINCUS RUSSELL
Russell, PhD, has published extensively in both general and
academic periodicals. She teaches and supervises Psychosynthesis,
collecting techniques from a variety of cultures for rapid recovery
and growth. Dr. Russell has also been on the clinical faculty at
Yale School of Medicine for years and served as Assistant Clinical
Professor in Psychiatry (Psychology) as a supervisor. Her writing
includes three books, dozens of articles, research on adult
development and depression, poetry, non-fiction and fiction. Her
book, "Double Duties," was a Woman Today Book Club selection, and
Book of the Year of the New Haven Public Library. An essay, "Coming
Home," was reprinted in seven languages. Recent publications
include the poem "Memorial Day" in "Beyond Lament," an anthology of
poems on the Holocaust, and poems in "Castalian Springs," "Orange
Willow Review," "Red Oak" and many others. Articles have appeared
in "The New York Times," "Parents," "Columbia," and other
periodicals. Her "Patient as Teacher" program represents twelve
years of research and interviews, and has been excerpted on line by
the Yale School of Medicine.
