Chapter by chapter, Segal lays out the ways serious illness and disability can affect families and relationships, and suggests how those affected can be helped or help themselves. She gives vivid examples, and draws often on psychoanalytic ideas and insights, showing how useful they can be in helping us to understand the complexity of her subject.
