Our guests are Norman Straker, MD, editor of “Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death: APsychoanalytic Perspective on Treatment” and NikiBarr, PhD, author of  “Emotional Wellness: The Other Half of Treating Cancer.”  That’s Topical Currents Wednesday at 1pm on WLRN-HD1 rebroadcast at 7pm on WLRN-HD2 and audio on-demand after the live program.
