Conversations About Illness presents a compelling human drama....It offers a living lesson in how family members can struggle lovingly, asserting contrasting positions and willingly engaging in conflict. Beach's superb analysis invites increased reader appreciation for the details of this, and all, human interaction. -Human Studies Throughout his book, Beach treats both parties' actions as coordinated, collaborative, and truly interactional. This is a refreshing treatment of a topic--health--which is still too often treated as individualistic and unidirectional. Conversations About Illness offers a first look in a very promising direction; in some ways, it can be seen as only beginning to scratch the analytic surface of this particular interaction, and this approach to health and illness in general. -Language in Society
