I lived under death’s shadow every day. When you swallow eighty Vicodin, twenty sleeping pills, drink a bottle of vodka, and still survive, a certain sense of invulnerability stays with you.

Still today, regardless of all the notoriety, I give thanks to James for writing this book.

Some liken it to a "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" but from a woman's perspective. But this analogy doesn't work for me. Firstly, the institution in question is not some barbaric hell hole. While decidedly ...             Twenty-Four Hours a Day (Hazelden Education Materials)10 reviews Hazelden Meditations Hazelden, 1996 Used for going on 20 years!

Thank ...             Cut342 reviews Patricia Mccormick Push, 2002 Great First Novel I have read this book many times. The first time I read it, I was an angsty teenager curious about the methods others utilized to "escape" their pain. Reading "Cut" did not make me want to run out and injure myself; in fact, it actually removed any naive idea I might have had about the therapeutic effects of self-mutilation. It is both irresponsible and ignorant to blame a novel for what is a ...             The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary ...409 reviews Simon Winchester Harper Perennial, 2005 the madness of scholarship Many academics and scholars border on creative madness, take Kierkegaard and Nietzsche for example.

Any author who can make such a dry subject as exciting as a ...             Interview Guide for Evaluating Dsm-IV Psychiatric Disorders and the Mental Status Examination17 reviews Mark Zimmerman Psych Products Press, 1994 A great guide for beginning students in need of a crutch I recommend this text for all social work, psychology, psychiatry and medicine students who will be conducting assessments with psychiatric clients/patients.
