Produktbeschreibung
Rehab counters the notion that it is mostly the victim's fault, that their poor choices put them in their own challenging position. Tinley argues that the concept of rehabilitation gets a bad rap, too often overly associated with the misuse of drugs and alcohol. In this ground-breaking collection of stories and essays, the author brings the reader into a room where everyone shares not so much deviance and disgust but the idea that all of us are constantly trying to become better, to improve upon ourselves and our lives. His tales, interpretations, and interviews cover a wide swath of the human condition...simply trying to get better. Topics range from the death of a good dog to divorce, from the vagaries of aging to sports injuries to becoming an empty nester to PTSD and suicide. Rehab is a book that replaces the guilt of rehabilitation with the grace of reconciliation.
