In the narrative of every human life and family, illness is a
prominent character. Even if we have avoided serious illness
ourselves, we cannot escape its reach into our circle of family and
friends. Illness brings us closer to one another through caregiving
and separates us through disability and death, yet little attention
has been paid to personal and family illness in psychotherapy.
Rather, therapists tend to focus on the psychosocial realm, leaving
the biological realm to other physicians and nurses. Susan H.
McDaniel, Jeri Hepworth, and William J. Doherty invited therapists
who work with individuals and families experiencing chronic illness
and disability to describe clinical cases that illustrate their
approach to medical family therapy. Contributors then were asked to
share a personal story about their experiences with illness, and to
explain how those experiences affect the way they work with their
clients. Vivid case studies dealing with a range of illnesses,
including cancer infertility, schizophrenia, AIDS, heart disease,
diabetes, asthma, and multiple sclerosis, show how the therapists'
own experiences of illness are relevant to their care of others-and
how these experiences can be used to form a healing bond in
therapy. Poignant, honest, and illuminating, "The Shared Experience
of Illness" allows us to understand more fully the relationship
between the personal and the professional.
