Reviews
In describing how survivors cope with their altered lives, Journeys Through Hell serves as a model for how the survivor (of the holocaust, of rape, of a sudden disability resulting from an accident, possibly the acquiring of AIDS, etc.) discovers and constructs both personal and social meanings relative to his or her injury. This manuscript is indeed a significant contribution to scholarship., It is through the surfaces of our bodies that our mutual identities are displayed. Burns disrupt that surface while pain disrupts the psyche. In this fascinating book the author follows in detail the reconstruction of identities damaged in both these ways. There are no easy answers, but much to be learned from the variety of patterns of rebuilding., This is a brilliant, interpretive, pathbreaking study of catastrophic burn victims. Written from a victum's point of view, this existentially grounded inquiry charts the moral career of the burn survivor, showing how lives are shattered and then reassembled with dignity and new self-awareness, almost always with the help of loved ones and other co-survivors. A bench mark for future studies., . . . a vivid portrait . . . Stouffer's research is clear, and its findings are compelling. . . . insightful analysis . . . a valuable resource . . ., This kind of personal testament, admixed with sociological knowledge, adds so much more to the knowledge of the field than the popular statistical aridities we generally get. This book is a major contribution and should be in the public eye as soon as possible.

Synopsis
Based on detailed interviews with twenty adult burn survivors, Journeys Through Hell examines self, identity and social reality. Stouffer integrates theoretical perspectives with the survivors' own words to show how trauma affects the survivor's worldview, how support and acceptance are achieved, and how such an achievement is embedded within a social process involving not only the survivor but also doctors, nurses, therapists, friends and family members.
