Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors (Penguin Modern Classics)

Reveals that the metaphors and myths surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering of the patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, this study shows cancer for what it is.

Dezvaluie ca metaforele si miturile care inconjoara anumite boli, in special cancerul, adauga foarte mult la suferinta pacientilor si adesea ii impiedica sa caute un tratament adecvat. Prin demistificarea fanteziilor din jurul cancerului, acest studiu arata cancerul asa cum este.
