"Journey Beyond Diagnosis," by Greg Pacini

"Journey Beyond Diagnosis" takes a compassionate look at the vast landscape of an illness experience. Greg Pacini, a licensed counselor and certified group psychotherapist, offers this book as assistance to survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals by likening an illness experience to long distance highway travel. Pacini not only illuminates the ups, downs, and curves of the journey, he offers important information about the trip from those initiated to illness. Eleven Rest Stops (which are step-by-step techniques for making the journey more comfortable) are interspersed throughout the narrative. These Rest Stops include strategies for responding to relationship tension, sleep problems, and depression. There are also special sections for caregivers and health care professionals.
