Psychologist/professor Jevne has been fascinated by hope and the attempt to understand how it develops and is strengthened through the many “voices” of everyday living. Through autobiographical narrative incidents, Jevne articulates the voices of mother, family, school, intimacy, illness, the “other,” and the Other. Throughout, she finds sustenance from people who care, from community, and from those who seek her help-such as the dying woman who asks Jevne-the-psychologist to pray for her. The Voice of Hope is a clear, simple, yet profound book. It has been recommended for public libraries.

When Dreams Don’t Work: Professional Caregivers and Burnout presents a fresh perspective on burnout. This book examines the origins and qualities of the dreams (visions) of professional caregivers and the ways those very qualities are risk factors for burnout. When Dreams Don’t Work: Professional Caregivers and Burnout also looks at the institutions in which professional caregivers (medical, educational, pastoral, law enforcement, and firefighting) invest in their professional dreams, and how those institutions contribute to the burnout process.

Presently available on Amazon. Second (and more reasonably priced) edition is in the making. (more…)
