About Dr. Southwick's second book, Prognosis: Fair:
" Prognosis: Fair is a masterpiece of science, academic resource, therapeutic prescription, personal traumatic experience, abandonment, injustice as well as examples of unconditional love, real support, on going recovery, transcendence, and soul. It is a life changing treasure with a lingering impact. -- Terri Fessler, LCSW, trauma specialist "I am so grateful for your beautiful book. I love the courage and science and humor and honesty and pain and hope and music and quotes and cover and inscription and all of it. Wow. Thank you." -- Gloria Miele, PhD, Co-Author, Trauma Services for Women in Substance Abuse Treatment "I was struck by how courageous an undertaking Prognosis: Fair is, and impressed with how much is pulled together-- theory, data, lyrics, verse, technical information, personal experience. It makes me all the more aware of the hard and important work of integrating traumatic memories." -- Cynthia Magistro, PhD, clinical psychologist About Dr. Southwick's first book, Prognosis: Poor: "This short but ambitious project of a book [is] incredibly well written, once I started I couldn't put it down. This book provides a new voice and view that has tremendous value. I highly recommend reading Prognosis: Poor.'" Tyler Cymet, D.O. Chief of Clinical Education, AACOM This is an incredibly thoughtful and honest depiction of residency training. . . While I remember residency being challenging, I accepted it as part of the process while I was living it. It is not until now, being removed from the situation and reflecting back on that time of my life that I realize how truly difficult it was. We all sacrificed sleep, dignity, peace of mind, time with loved ones and countless other things as part of our training and I believe that does not have to be the case. When I have tried to tell family and friends what residency was like it has been a struggle to find the words that fully describe those years but I feel that Dr. Southwick has succinctly and thoroughly captured the highs and lows of post-graduate training in a way that will resonate with anyone who has been through residency or supported a love one through it. This is also a great read for anyone curious about the current process of medical education in the US and those who interested in ways it can be changed. Sara Casile, DO family medicine physician |
