Beskrivning

Based on detailed interviews with twenty adult burn survivors, Journeys Through Hell examines self, identity and social reality. Stouffer integrates theoretical perspectives with the survivors' own words to show how trauma affects the survivor's worldview, how support and acceptance are achieved, and how such an achievement is embedded within a social process involving not only the survivor but also doctors, nurses, therapists, friends and family members.

This kind of personal testament, admixed with sociological knowledge, adds so much more to the knowledge of the field than the popular statistical aridities we generally get. This book is a major contribution and should be in the public eye as soon as possible.
