Photo-Realistic Versus Impressionistic Views of Suicide Book Reviews-Women & Suicidal Behavior by Canetto & Lester/The Suicidal Mind by Shneidman/Suicide Across the Life Span by Stillion & McDowell

Three books are reviewed, Suicide Across the Life Span, Women and Suicidal Behavior, and The Suicidal Mind. Suicide Across the Life Span provides readers with a panoramic view of suicide across the different ages of life, over the past 3,000 years. Women and Suicidal Behavior brings women into the forefront and the final section contains two very good chapters on prevention and postvention. The Suicidal Mind is a gallery of protraits in an impassioned, impressionistic style.
