"In the best tradition of giving psychology away, this easy-to-read
book can help suicidal people understand their suffering while they
take charge of their own healing. Some readers will need additional
professional help, but all with benefit from Choosing to Live's
message of hope and reassurance that suicide is not the
answer."
--Paul G. Quinnett, author of Suicide: The Forever Decision
"This book tackles, head-on, a significant, high-priority clinical
problem that many patients and therapists dread and avoid. It
offers cool, clear thinking, immensely helpful to both patient and
clinician, and dozens of practical, down-to-earth suggestions. A
brave and extremely sensible book from which I learned quite a bit.
I am delighted to have this 'weapon' in my armory when I work with
suicidal patients."
--Jacqueline B. Persons, Ph.D., Director, Center for Cognitive
Therapy, Oakland, California
"Tom Ellis and Cory Newman have written a wonderful book. The
writing is clear and the message in important. The authors are
gifted clinicians, and their empathetic concern for depressed and
suicidal people comes through on every page. Anyone who has
contemplated suicide and anyone with a suicidal loved one will
profit from the straightforward and helpful suggestions in this
book."
--Danny Wedding Ph.D., M.P.H., Director, Missouri Institute of
Mental Health
