Reviews

Hats off to these investigators for reflecting both physician and patient perspectives with humor, in a manner that is neither reductive nor competitive, and for honoring profound needs.--Barbara Mains Medscape Women's Health Ejournal, (Posted 10/03/2002)


The authors, a social scientist and a psychosocial and behavioral health administrator, describe the process of blending the experience of living with cancer and the dissemination of their findings through a live theater audience...The authors are carefulto create a vivid description of the cast members' involvement in the process and their emotional responses to being so closely aligned with the disease...[They] answer yes to the question, Is the use of theatrical performance an effective way to communicate the results of social science research to healthcare providers and the public?--Janic Phillips, PhD, RN, FAAN Oncology Nursing Forum, Vol. 30, No 5, 2003
