Grappling with Care

Grappling with Care: Poetry from a Forensic Psychologist explores the interplay of empathy, power and assistance from the mental health perspective within the criminal justice system by Autumn Slaughter, Ph.D.

"'There lies a green field between the scholar and the poet; should the scholar cross it he becomes a wise man; should the poet cross it he becomes a prophet.' --Kahlil Gibran.

Grappling with Care is Dr. Autumn Slaughter's poetic chronicle of some of their adventures in the green field. Each step (poem) is a lesson learned and taught in the rhythm of verses worth reading and heeding, again."
