Suicide in America
In this new edition of his acclaimed work, Dr. Herbert Hendin casts new light on the problem of suicide, offering what he calls a "psychosocial perspective."

Interviews with the leading practitioners and proponents are included. This book has much to say not only about how we die but also about how we choose to live.
