Reviews

While the clinical and historical aspects of the surgical procedures are aimed at medical professionals, general readers will appreciate the themes of identity, change and recovery. - SciTech Book News Someone Else's Face in the Mirror gives students, practitioners, and others the opportunity to think about identity from a different perspective. Psychopathology can cause major shifts in how people perceive themselves. Genetic disorders and other diseases can also affect self-perception. As faces lead people into every interpersonal contact, trauma that includes facial disfigurement increases the difficulty of treatment. Practitioners need to support medical treatments that improve a person's chance of a life that is suited to that person. Someone Else's Face in the Mirror allows professionals to grapple with an issue that might not come up otherwise and to form an opinion that each can then use to advocate for clients and patients. It also allows the reader to take a fresh look at how psychoanalytic theories can be expanded to explain and create interventions that treat and resolve physical and psychological trauma. That could then become the personal integration of innovative technique, trauma, and identity. - PsycCRITIQUES
