Recenzii
"An uncommonly wise and insightful book, written with the compassion, elegance, and erudition that is so characteristic of Professor Shneidman's work. It is strongly recommended reading for anyone whose work brings them into contact with potentially suicidal people."--Judd Marmor, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, USC School of Medicine
"This is a book that can save lives. Edwin Shneidman ushers us deeply into the suicidal mind. His books is addressed to all people for whom suicide is a dark fact of life--suicidal persons, their friends and family, the therapists who could treat them, and those who have lost loved ones through suicide."--Larry Lockridge, Professor of English, New York University, and author of Shade of the Raintree: The Life and Death of Ross Lockridge, Jr.
"This is the most important book on suicide in my lifetime. It is an heretical book and crucial to a field which is in danger of losing its psyche by being medicalized. Dr. Shneidman's insights are essential to keeping the subject of suicide where it belongs--in the psychological pain of the suicidal mind. This is a book for everybody."--Pamela Cantor, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School
"In a superbly written book, Ed Shneidman develops his theory that persons commit suicide if death is more attractive than life. He gives moving examples of how he could convince some, not others, that they are making the wrong choice."--Fredrick Redlich, M.D., former Dean of Yale Medical School
"The clear lessons and gripping life stories in this book will let every type of reader, layperson, or professional know instantly what has taken a lifetime of study and clinical experience to know. Shneidman has searched, found, and now shows us his astonishing discovered truths."--Caroline C. Murray, Ed.D., Lecturer, Harvard Medical School, Emerita
"The Suicidal Mind is an important book written by a master teacher, clinician, and researcher of human behavior. It is a book that merits the serious attention of all thoughtful persons for the many profound insights it provides into human nature in general and suicidal behavior in particular."--Shirley L. Zimmerman, Ph.D., University of Minnesota
"The dean of suicidologists and preeminent among them, Professor Shneidman has studied the suicidal mind for more than 40 years and has plenty to tell us about it. He leads the reader through these pages like a friendly guide, using the experiences of Ariel Wilson, Beatrice Bessen, and the unforgettable Castro Reyes to explain to us suicide's commonalities. Free of jargon, vividly written, this is a book for those who comprehend little about suicide, and for those who grasp much. Every reader, naive or sophisticated about this subject, will arise from reading The Suicidal Mind understanding much more."--John T. Maltsberger, M.D., Harvard Medical School
