Seven Choices

Elizabeth Harper Neeld, Neeld. Clarkson N Potter Publishers, $19.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-517-57371-6

Many readers will rightly welcome psychologist's Neeld's seven-stage, step-by-step guide to mourning and recovery, accompanied by a description of phases necessary to complete the ``grieving process.'' Based on the author's own experience and that of 60 others, the program requires the mourner to knowingly choose to undergo each stage as it occurs. The book also discusses with compassion physical and emotional traumas to expect and offers sound advice on how to adjust to change and form new life patterns and human bonds. 35,000 first printing; $35,000 ad/promo; author tour.
