Bauser , N. ((2001). Acceptance Groups for Survivors: A Guide for Facilitators
This book is a well organized, intelligently tough but compassionately realistic guide for professionals leading groups of survivors of brain injury and other disabilities.
Politically correct victimhood rhetoric is conspicuously absent in her writing. Instead, she gives us a healing breath of fresh air, pure mental-emotional oxygen, for the survivors, their families, and friends. Her clarity and spare, pithy style I found startling at time, and her focused, refreshing honesty in dealing with key issues for group members penetrated through irrelevancies like a laser.
Clearly, this is not a "library researched" book. Naucy Bauser has lived this. Which explains her books unmistakable ring of authenticity.
