Jeanine Young-Mason

Jeanine Young-Mason (SON’74, SED’82) of Newbury, Mass., published a second edition of her book, The Patient’s Voice: Experiences of Illness (F. A. Davis Company, 2015), which “introduces contemporary autobiographical accounts of psychiatric and somatic illness,” Jeanine writes. “The accounts are of children and adults’ experiences of illness and include narratives by family members and advocates in the medical, legal, and judicial systems. They are all pertinent accounts for students in nursing, medicine, allied health professions, and the law.” Young-Mason is a distinguished professor emerita at the University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Nursing.
