Reclaiming Our Lives After Cancer
No Customer Reviews
By a clinician who specializes in medical psychology and who herself has twice had breast cancer, this book speaks with equal resonance to women with (or worried about) cancer and those who love them, and to the professionals in mental, physical or spiritual health who work with them. Kristine Falco leavens the hard parts with her unshakeable assurance that the experience of cancer can catalyze an existential vision enriched by a choiceful, redecided life based on new and amended definitions of womanhood and humanness. She shares her understanding of the physiology as well as the complicated psychology of gynaecologic and breast cancers, and knowingly confronts the differential challenges of surviving the diagnosis and surviving the treatments. Navigating what she calls the map of therapy, Dr. Falco introduces ways to potentiate psychological healing, from expanding philosophical perspectives and learning to listen to individual signals, to increasing one's repertoire of resources and coping skills toward reclaiming authorship of one's own life.
