Coping with Crisis: A West Virginia Doctor's Perspective

As a lifelong Christian, a psychiatrist specializing in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and an author of many books, Dr. Greenbrier Almond offers a powerful and timely perspective on coping with crisis. As the 2020 coronavirus pandemic shakes the world, he shares his wisdom and insights through a compilation of writings past and present: a professional presentation on PTSD; featured speeches on combining faith and medicine, as well as the importance of faith for everyday living; personal reflections on the current pandemic; short stories; and more. Also included is a lecture from the 1920s by Dr. Almond s grandfather, Rev. Paul L. Flanagan, a minister who spent months recovering from tuberculosis, gaining powerful perspective on the power of looking on The Bright Side. Almost 100 years later, this wisdom is just as vital today.
