Boston, MA: Beacon Press, 1997. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book explores the hidden dynamics at work when we try to make sense of suffering.

She also shows the way our responses are often more than they seem: how compassion can mask condescension; how identifying with others' pain often slips inot illicit appropriation; how pity can reinforce the unequal relationship between those who cause and those who endure suffering.
