Summary |
"How do we cousel women who are facing or recovering from serious illness and other health crises? This book draws on qualitative data from a variety of sources and offers a theoretical model of women's health and identity." "It will be particularly interesting to graduate and undergraduate students of clinical psychology, counseling, social work, women's studies, and education. This volume will prove useful for in-service training programs for counselors, social workers, nurses, and psychologists as well."--Jacket. |
