They show how the hospital-based system fundamentally fails the needs of the chronically sick because it ignores the nonmedical aspects such as personal support. Reviewing the recent medical and sociological literature, they postulate a definition of chronic illness, and analyze its various stages. Though the writing is colorless and sometimes repetitive, the book presents a persuasive case. Jack Forman, Mesa Coll. Lib., San Diego Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
