A propos de cet article

Fourth Printing. (Number Line to 4). Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. The long inscription is to Dr. Louis B. Fierman. I purchased the book directly from his personal library. He was a psychotherapist and longtime Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University. The inscription from the author is interesting. It reads: 'I am eternally grateful for the enormous help and support you provided me through a very difficult time. As you once said 'never let a good depression go to waste'. That experience became a major personal resource towards the book and the work I do. Lovely seeing you and Ella again, John.' The author was Founding Director of the Center for Illness in Families while at Yale University and currently (at the time of this book's publication) at the University of Chicago. Elizabeth A. Carter of the Family Institute of Westchester wrote at the time 'a tour de force that should be used and reused by every professional concerned with family health and functioning. Stunningly inclusive and clearly presented, it is a casebook, a textbook, a reference book, and an easy-to-read primer with sophisticated interventions simply presented.' As you can see from the photographs, the book and dust jacket are in excellent condition. The covers of the book show very little wear. The spine ends and corners have no wear. There is a tiny nick at the front bottom edge, nothing much of anything. The pages of the book are very clean, very bright, no soiling, no markings, no writing/underlining, no creasing. The only imperfections in the book are 1) a very tiny spot at the top of the inside cover where a 1/1/6th of an inch of paper pulled off and 2) on the FFEP where the author has written an inscription, he also scotch-taped his card. You can see that in the second photo. The dust jacket is in excellent condition, very clean, no conspicuous wear. The flaps look terrific as well. The jacket is not priced or clipped. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.

Synopsis

When a family member is diagnosed with cancer or faces challenges from living with a disability, the impact reverberates throughout the family, leaving no one untouched. How should a clinician help the parents of a child who is critically ill? How can a marital relationship be skewed and a child's well-being compromised when a parent becomes permanently disabled—and how can a clinician best intervene in such cases? In presenting his clinically powerful Family Systems Illness Model, John Rolland addresses these and other vital questions of importance to families in which there is a member with a major illness or disability.Rolland's integrative treatment model is based on his experience with more than five hundred families, first as Founding Director of the Center for Illness in Families while at Yale University and currently at the University of Chicago. He applies it to a broad range of disorders that affect adults and children over the entire course of the life cycle. Richly illustrated with varied case examples, Families, Illness, and Disability is unique in describing this comprehensive model and in providing a highly practical guide to effective intervention.Through a normative, preventive lens, the book's useful framework shows how the biopsychosocial demands of different illness and disabilities create particular strains on the family, how the stages of an illness affect the family, how family legacies of loss and illness shape their coping responses, and how family belief systems play a crucial role in the ability to manage health and illness. Practitioners will learn how to help families live well despite physical limitations and the uncertainties of threatened loss, how to encourage empowering rather than shame-based illness narratives, how to rewrite rigid caregiving scripts, how to encourage intimacy and maximize autonomy for all family members. With its superb integration of individual and family modalities, this outstanding book is ideal for all health and mental health professionals and students who work with illness, disability, and loss in a wide variety of clinical settings.
