Salber, an early proponent of the health facilitator role in community medicine, has written a collection of intelligent and insightful personal essays about the relationships between a doctor, patients, and the community served. Salber--physician, woman, mother, wife, researcher, and Jew--recounts her experiences training to be a doctor in her birthplace, apartheid-torn South Africa, as well as her subsequent work with the poor and underprivileged in Boston and rural North Carolina. This is the portrait of an extraordinary humanist who delights in caring for and curing ordinary people. A recommended purchase for academic libraries, particularly those with women's studies programs.

Category : Religion
ISBN : 0809135817
Book Description
With her characteristic honesty, gentleness and insight, Kathleen Fischer explores the spiritual dimensions of women's middle and later years as she weaves together stories, experiences and research from a variety of traditions and cultures. She begins with a discussion of how societal images of older women constrict their sense of worth and their possibilities. The author then suggests ways in which older women can embrace new visions of themselves. She proceeds to explore the place of transitions, the inner life, contemplation, the body, mourning, remembering, caregiving and intergenerational connections as each relates to women's spirituality in later life. At each chapter's end, Dr. Fischer offers rituals, prayers and meditations that mark the passages of the second half of life.
