I would only add: the adjunct methods discussed in the book can be generalized to fit any serious disease. The underlying theme is that the patient does have some control over his/her body and how it reacts to the disease. this book is an excellent book for people close to the patient. It discusses how to support the patient in following the methods, and in making the choices inherent in the situation, particularly the choice to die. In addition, it gave my family a common basis from which to start talking at a time when we were all facing some pretty scary times. Moira Mallison tektronix!moiram
