Body Language - First of All Do No Harm

Informationen zum Autor Constance Studer! M.A. from the University of Colorado! Boulder. Constance draws upon her twenty years' experience as a registered nurse in her book! Body Language. Her book of poetry! Prayer To A Purple God! was published in 1996 and reissued in hardback in 2004. Klappentext Body Language is a testament to survival! to the healing power of nature. Connie built a home by the shores of Grand Lake! the lake the Indians called "Spirit Lake." Watching the river fill up the lake year after year renewed her faith in the sense of continuity and progression. Grand Lake! with its bird calls and bombastic waves! was a magic marriage between the visible and invisible! a landscape that refreshed the eye! cleansed the heart! recharged the spirit. Sometimes the body sings hymns! sometimes the blues but always the body hums along. Healing is a process! a journey toward balance! connectedness! meaning! wholeness! rather than an outcome. Zusammenfassung Constance Studer uses her family's story to illustrate larger ethical dilemmas in which modem medical professionals find themselves. The history of why prefrontal lobotomies were performed on patients is explored! as is why only a few physicians raised dissenting voices to this mutilating surgery.
