The Psychology of Spine Surgery
I found a copy of this book on the shelf at my father's nursing home and decided to order myself a copy. Having just qualified for Medicare, I'm trying to figure out who I am, and I thought this book would help. No. It's not a bad book; it's just not for me. I needed specifics, I got generalizations. McCain, a psychotherapist, could not resist writing psychobabble underlaid with a New Age philosophy that denies the existence of any higher power beyond Mother Earth. She wraps her ideas around the elements--earth, air, fire and water--with a good dose of Greek and Roman mythology and offers a list of principles for being not just an old lady but an "elderwoman." They are good principles, things like simplicity, caring for the earth, being earth-centered, and finding balance. Embrace each moment with "radical aliveness," she says. Meditate, eat natural foods, exercise, recycle. All good, but it was a slow read and not quite what I was hoping for. The book is well researched with an extensive bibliography.
