Understanding suicide? Stop here! by Ennio Ammendola (New York, NY USA)

5 Stars
June 24, 2009
Finally a book written by someone who knows exactly what he says ... and knows how to say it well! All those who want to have a greater understanding of the existential and philosophical implications of suicide SHOULD stop here. The best parts of the book are those dedicated to the explanation of concepts such as "MANAGING" suicidal risk and building a "COLLABORATIVE" approach. Dr. Jobes has explained with disarming clarity concepts related to the sphere of suicide that had always been difficult to understand. Anyone who is about to study suicide or would like to cultivate a greater understanding of it must consider this book as an excellent starting point. Dr. Jobes thanks for this amazing gift. Finalmente un libro scritto da qualcuno che sa esattamente quello che dice e lo dice cosi bene! Tutti quelli che vogliono avere una maggiore comprensione delle implicazioni esistenziali e filosofiche che il suicidio comporta, devono fermarsi qui. La cosa che mi ha colpito maggiormente e' stata l'attenta analisi dedicata ai concetti di "MANAGING" il rischio del suicidio e all'approccio "COLLABORATIVE". Dr. Jobes ha esposto con disarmante chiarezza concetti legati alla sfera del suicidio altrimenti difficili da comprendere. Questo e' uno di quei libri che vanno consultati quotidianamente. Chiunque si appresti allo studio del suicidio o sia intenzionato ad una sua maggiore comprensione DEVE considerare questo libro come un eccellente punto di partenza. Buona lettura e ancora i miei piu' genuini complimenti al Dr. Jobes per questo interessantissimo libro.
