How to Heal: A Guide for Caregivers
Healing Yourself and OthersCuring is not the same as healing, explains physician Jeff Kane in The Healing Companion: Simple and Effective Ways Your Presence Can Help People Heal, with a foreword by Larry Dossey (Reinventing Medicine). Healing, he avers, is a process involving the emotional experience of illness and the "full, honest presence" of those who help alleviate the suffering by viewing the patient as a whole person, focusing on the here and now, doing their best and, when necessary, letting go. Based on 25 years of leading support groups for cancer patients, Kane's book is spiritual, anecdotal and wise. Agent, Agnes Birnbaum.
