After a Life-Threatening Diagnosis...What's Next?

Converging and replicated evidence indicate that psychological stress, fears and anxiety can affect the healing process of patients recovering from surgery or given the diagnosis of a life-threatening condition.

This book should prove valuable in relieving stress and anxiety, especially important nowadays as the journey from diagnosis to cure or death is longer due to improvements in medical treatments. Healthcare workers and the general public worldwide would benefit as death is universal. The writing style is engaging and easy to read, yet highly informative. I would recommend this book to my patients and their families and friends.
