I have read From Emptiness to Empowerment and, without a doubt, find it to be one of the best books on coping that I have ever read. I say this not only in the capacity as a clinical social worker with twenty years of experience and currently working with emotionally and physically disabled students, but also in the capacity of a consumer who is dealing with several chronic illnesses my self. Brian Hubbard's strategy of using simplified, easy-to-understand concepts of grieving and psychosocial needs truly sets up the concrete parameters necessary for change in the most positive direction possible. His obvious sensitivity is truly engaging to the reader and makes the reader feel that he or she is not alone, that there is truly someone who not only understands the challenges of disability and chronic illnesses, but has the most empowering strategies to reach his or her fullest potential and then some. I recommend From Emptiness to Empowerment to the highest degree possible.
