Reviews
"Schmenk has written a truly compassionate and highly practical text for individuals confronting major, medical diagnosis and the loved ones and professionals who will support them. This text owns an integral sensibility, as it pulls together information and tools from many different disciplines and approaches to therapy, support, and communication, yet the writing always remains friendly and accessible. This book is a must have for clinicians and anyone struggling with the news of a life-changing condition."
-- Mark Forman, Author of A Guide to Integral Psychotherapy
