White Flowers Press announces the release of Making Peace With Suicide: A Book of Hope, Understanding, and Comfort by Adele Ryan McDowell, Ph.D.
Written by Adele Ryan McDowell, Ph.D., a practicing psychotherapist and former hot-line responder, Making Peace with Suicide provides a comprehensive and compassionate look at the world-wide phenomena of suicide. The book is designed for those who have lost a loved one to suicide; those considering suicide; and those who work with or counsel the bereaved and the suicidal.
Making Peace with Suicide analyzes the factors and circumstances that can lead to suicide and offers an intimate view of suicide through personal stories and coping strategies from both survivors of suicidal loss as well as the unique perspective of the formerly suicidal. The book sheds light on the phenomena of suicide vis-à-vis teenagers, the military, post-partum depression, as an end-of-life choice, and asks if addiction is a form of slow suicide. Dr. McDowell provides a seven-step healing process and explores suicide and the soul and today’s global energy of suicide.
Dr. McDowell is a psychotherapist with 30+ years’ experience. Her work focuses on helping clients find hope and balance in the face of crisis, trauma, and grief. She has worked with suicide, domestic violence, and sexual assault crisis hotlines; survivors of Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, the Joplin Tornado, and the Newtown shooting; clients struggling with addiction as well as those moving through profound life changes such as grief and health challenges. Dr. McDowell is also the author of Balancing Act: Reflections, Meditations, and Coping Strategies for Today’s Fast-Paced Whirl. You can learn more at http://AdeleRyanMcDowell.com.
