Much to learn from Quinn

I was fortunate enough to have Paula Quinn as a professor in 2004 and this book does not even begin to cover all one can learn from her. As someone who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2001 though this book showed let me know it was possible to own my illness and not be a victim. I recommend this book for anyone who needs to understand someone with depression or bipolar disorder, as well as those who are looking for away to understand themselves better.

Shadow On My Soul, Overcoming Addiction To Suicide.

From the standpoint of a Psych RN this book gives great insight into the mindset of a suicidal patient. It has been helpful in my own work with the depressed. Ms. Quinn's unique and simple style of writing make it a pleasure to read. Her delicate way of handling the subject of child sexual and emotional abuse make this a little easier to read. The account of her life give the notion that there is hope in overcoming the addiction to suicide. I highly rcommend this book to anyone who has experienced this type of abuse or to those who work with the abused.
