Good Days, Bad Days by Kathy Charmaz
A compelling book on chronic illness and the effect it has on the self-concepts of those who suffer. It will appeal to anyone facing a long-term problem that seems beyond control. Kathy Charmazs work is based on interviews with people suffering from such diseases as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis, and with their caregivers.
Charmaz transcends the basic issues involved in chronic illness to disclose linkages between one's sense of identity and one's construction of time, which have implications well beyond the realm of health and illness* Contemporary Sociology *
A very moving work. It does a marvelous job of allowing the reader to get 'inside' the experience of chronic illness. -- Lyn H. Lofland, * University of California, Davis *
This is an outstanding work. [It] brilliantly conveys an unsurpassable depth of understanding and feeling about the chronically ill. -- Norman K. Denzin * University of Illinois, Urbana *
