The Patient's Voice: Experiences of Illness introduces 16 contemporary autobiographical accounts of psychiatric and somatic illness to students in medicine, nursing and allied health professions. The accounts, written expressley for this book, are of children's and adult's experience of illness and spiritual distress and the ways in which the individuals express their views of compassionate care. They portray the personal transformations which have evolved out of their suffering. The cover art was painted expressley for this book by Dino Cavalleri of Paris and Sennevoy le Haut. The book and Teacher's Manual have been translated into Japanese by Kyoko Nakamura. The Japanese title is Kanjo no Koe Byouki no Taiken. Chikuma Gakugei Bunko Humanities Press, Tokyo, 2001.(ISBN 4480086234) Professor Nakamura wrote in her afterward "If Japanese readers find in these varied accounts the key to understanding others, and if that finding can be utilized in the fields of medicine, nursing, and education, it would be the greatest pleasure for me having introduced and translated the book."
Bad saler!Reviewed by Mai Xiong, 2008-09-29
I purchased my book about a month ago and I never got it in the mail. I paid for it in full and I am still waiting for my book. Very bad saler. I would not recommand it. I want my refund back!
The Patient's VoiceReviewed by Muriel P. Shaul, 2006-11-05
I required this book for several years teaching nursing students in my chronic illness and death and dying courses. Not only do the students love it and relate to the patients' stories, they learn concepts of care grounded in these stories. A powerful and inspiring book.
