Product Description
Journey Beyond Diagnosis takes a compassionate look at the vast landscape of an illness experience. Greg Pacini-a licensed counselor and certified group psychotherapist-offers this book as assistance to survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals by likening an illness experience to long distance highway travel. Pacini not only illuminates the ups, downs, and curves of the journey, he offers important information about the trip from those initiated to illness. Eleven Rest Stops-step-by-step techniques for making the journey more comfortable-are interspersed throughout the narrative. These Rest Stops include strategies for responding to relationship tension, sleep problems, and depression. There are also special sections for caregivers and health care professionals. Journey Beyond Diagnosis is an invaluable tool for survivors of illnesses as well as their loved ones and caregivers. Pacini's analogy to a long drive proves insightful, and the text illustrates that an illness experience is indeed a journey of body, mind, and emotion. ... Read more

By Anthony Haselton

COMING SOON

ISBN: 978-1-84747-166-6
Published: 2007
Pages: 80
Key Themes: brain injury, schizophrenia, music, football

Description

'A Modern Medical Miracle' is split into two parts. Part one tells of how Anthony battled against a brain tumour from the age of 12. The story is set against the backdrop of the punk-rock revolution of the time and the fortunes of Everton Football Club, who play just a stone's throw from Walton Hospital where Anthony received life saving, life changing brain surgery. Anthony's life takes on a surreal, almost dreamlike quality as his mind is shaped by images of Everton players and the words of Johnny Rotten and Joe Strummer. Inspired by his combined love of football and music, this passion proves to be not only his inspiration but his salvation too.

Part Two, The Big S, carries on the story as Anthony develops schizophrenia and uses writing and the English language to stay sane, fighting with the weapons of love, faith and hope. As his love for football and music brings an uncanny magic into his life, depression is a demon destroying his dreams. Discovering the double edged sword of the Word he defeats his demons and finds a heaven in the hell of the modern world, seeing the light at the end of his tunnel illuminating the way.

About the Author

It was on a midsummer evening in 1964 that Anthony Haselton was born into a mad world of mods and rockers and English moptops invading America. It could be that his life is 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The Beatles and The Beano, which his mother taught him to read with, combined to make the sixties an exceedingly happy period. The next six years were as normal as any healthy child's until Anthony was struck down with a brain tumour. His fight to defeat his illness and the subsequent schizophrenia he developed in adult years, shaped his writing style.

Educated at Selwyn Jones High School and St. Helens College, he has written for local newspapers, had a regular page in the award winning Everton FC programme of 1986-87 and contributes to Everton's fanzine 'When Skies Are Grey'. Anthony was the editor of a hospital magazine for seven years and is a Spotlight poet, appearing in 'A Sense Of Perception' (1988) and 'Enigma Of Life' (2002). Anthony now works trying to reduce stigma regarding mental illness in mainstream society, this is the reasoning behind writing 'A Modern Medical Miracle'.

Book Extract

Brothers, I am born again! And what follows is my testimony, a story of what I believe to be a Christian healing, set against the backdrop of the revival of Everton Football Club in the 1976-77 football season and the infamous rise of the musical punk rock movement.

The blues of Everton were nearing their 100th anniversary, having formed as a methodist church team, St Domingo's, in 1878. They had been an important part of my life since my arrival into this mad world via the bedroom at 130 Legh Street in 1964 as mods and rockers fought on the beaches of Britain and The Beatles were conquering America, bringing a massive swing in cultural and social ways of life both here and over the pond.

At home my dad was teaching me to speak, "Say E-ver-ton". I had no chance, my grandad was even more fanatical in things Everton. Away from the blues he had a ritual with all grandchildren of which I was the fourth. On arrival at Harvey Avenue the baby was duly placed under the sideboard. I repeat, I had no chance!

Not impressed
I was dissappointed in the book, I already know some basic Yoga and was looking for something geared specifically towards the golfer. Instead the book took regular yoga poses, which you learn in any basic yoga class, and applied them to golf.
Now there is nothing inherently wrong with that - its just that I expected something really focused on golfers - maybe my expectations were too high?
I would recommend this book to people who have no concept of Yoga and need some flexibility and general physical conditioning improvement.
However if you are an active person and have the possibility of attending Yoga classes then do that instead. You will learn everything this book has in the first class ...

Must Have!
If you're a golfer, you got to have this!

I've used the techniques described in the book and
it works! I'm golfing better than I have in 20 years!

Highly recommended!

Two Thumbs Up!
I bought this book as a gift for my Grandpa and Dad they loved it - both say it knocked a few strokes off their game!

Different approach
What a great concept - using Yoga to improve golf.
The poses are well illustrated and easy to understand. I am not sure of how it will affect my golfing yet - I may come back on that.

GREAT BOOK
I think this book is great.Helps with my performance tremendously.A must have for any golfer!!! ... Read more
