From the Desk of Dr. Dorree Lynn: Published Work and WritingDr. Dorree Lynn’s latest book is entitled, When the Man You Love is Ill; Doing Your Best for Your Partner without Losing Yourself (Marlowe & Co. /Avalon Publishing 2007). The break-through book is an emotional survival guide with a pragmatic approach, providing timely advice that is candid, compassionate and holistic. It goes beyond a basic “How To” book that helps a caregiver take care of an ill spouse or loved one. The reader will also learn how to take care of a personal relationship and how to take care of herself. The focus is on keeping a relationship that’s under stress alive and loving. In today’s world, most caregivers are women. However, there is a special chapter in the book that is dedicated specifically to men. |

Getting Sane Without Going Crazy (Xlibris 2000), Dr. Dorree Lynn’s first book, is a consumer’s guide to psychotherapy. “Most people take greater care looking for a new suit or dress than seeking a therapist. I wanted to do something to change that,” says Dr. Lynn. The book’s purpose was to act as an antidote to the stigma attached to psychotherapy and act as a guide through the perplexing labyrinth of psychotherapy schools and other healing modalities.
“Anger was my motivator,” explains Dr. Lynn. “To my ear, so many of my colleagues seemed to be whining and whimpering about how HMO’s were giving our profession the short shrift. I felt that if we didn’t fight back, we would deserve whatever we got. I chose to write and lecture in order to reach beyond my own office walls. I thought that an educated consumer, a self-advocate, would be our field’s best ally.” |
