Indefinite Postponement: A Case Study of Adolescent Suicidality
The book is an extended case report and memoir depicting one of my former patients who was highly suicidal and then became well. Specifically, she wrote a suicide diary while ill, recovered in the treatment, composed a recovery diary, and then gave me written consent to use the diaries and write a book around them on suicide. Her two provisos were that she remain absolutely anonymous and that all profits from the sale of the book be donated to suicide prevention charities. Both have and will be observed. There has never been to my knowledge a book in which a suicide diary of an adolescent has been combined with the clinical commentary of a child psychiatrist. In short, I think Indefinite Postponement portrays suicidality—through narrative—in a novel way that will interest the non-medical public. Also of note, the book has a foreword from Dr. Judith Beck, a luminary in mental health, and at times last week, it was the #1 New Release in the Suicide category on Amazon.
