THE POWER OF CLOSURE

Have you ever felt the overwhelming need for closure in a relationship, in your professional life or with a family member?

Wanting closure is human. But is it always possible? And is it always healthy? Dr. Gary McClain is a psychotherapist whose practice has evolved to focus primarily on communication and relationship issues. In his sessions with clients, one word comes up repeatedly. Closure! Various self-help books touch on the subject of closure, but Dr. McClain's The Power of Closure will be singular in its focus on this powerful human need. In it, he will teach readers how to navigate the range of situations in which closure is most likely to be sought - and, through acceptance and self-empowerment, how to let go and move on with life when closure is unattainable. The Power of Closure promises to sit alongside many other books that help readers gain insight and move forward with their lives, including Nedra Tawwab's Set Boundaries, Find Peace, Whitney Goodman's Toxic Positivity, Amir Levine's Attached, and Jackson MacKenzie's Whole Again. Dr. Gary McClain has a private practice in New York City and works with employees onsite at American Express and NBC Universal. He is an adjunct faculty member at Montclair State University in the graduate program in mental health and at Excelsior College in health sciences. He has authored books on body-mind-spirit topics, as well as a supplementary textbook for nursing and allied healthcare programs, After the Diagnosis: How Patients React and How to Help Them Cope (Cengage/Delmar, 2010). He has published articles for numerous health-related publications and writes a column on mental health issues for HIV Plus magazine.
