In each case, people must decide whether to make their private suffering public. The book includes analysis derived from research literature, combined with illness narrative accounts of people in qualitative interviews and blog posts, to create fictional exemplary case studies for each of the chronic conditions examined. The common issues raised in these stories provide important insights into the process by which people manage to adapt to their changing health status and life circumstances. In this book, Alexander Segall, PhD, gives voice to chronically ill people who often have their life stories either missed or dismissed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Segall Phd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487523408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487523404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Alexander Segall Phd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169777414399,"sku":"9781487523404","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4858478-0810-40fe-8e15-9d36e513d047.jpg?v=1689654859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/missed-and-dismissed-voices-alexander-segall-9781487523404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
