Abstract

It's time the secret was out! For almost eight years, Sue Chance has written a monthly column for THE PSYCHIATRIC TIMES, a newspaper that goes to all psychiatrists in the U.S. (who've become accustomed to being shouldered aside by their secretaries & spouses, anxious to read Sue's column first since she's plainly speaking to them in her jargon-free, poetic & humorous style). In the words of Roy Menninger, Chairman of the Menninger Foundation, "The rare clarity of Sue's writing makes her work fascinating reading whatever the subject...In some quite remarkable way, she intimately engages the reader, sharing her understanding, an illuminating perspective, & an abundance of pithy thoughts that are genuinely wise." A VOICE OF MY OWN is a collection of 35 of her best columns, in which she talks about grief, humor, motherhood, spiritual issues, love & the sexes, anger, etc.--everything from "abandonment" to "Yeats" as per the index. As Harriet Lerner, author of THE DANCE OF ANGER, says, "This book is quite simply, wonderful reading. Sue Chance is a witty, honest, occasionally outrageous woman. She...also...speaks so plainly of the human heart that you'll find yourself responding, 'Yes! That's JUST what I would have said.'" To order call 1-800-484-2099 (4545) or contact Baker & Taylor.
