Book Review – Lives and Deaths: Selections From the Works of Edwin S. Shneidman by A A Leenaars

The reviewer reviews the book “Lives and Deaths: Selections from the Works of Edwin S. Schneidman” edited by A Leenaars, which takes, claims the reviewer, a substantial step in the direction of defining its subject. The review highlights the contributions of Schneidman to the field of suicidology, & the contriubtions of the editor to making this book one which the reviewer terms “delightful.”
