Rezensionen

"Lester and Gunn have provided a brilliant set of new essays on Katie's diary. This is a stunning and diverse collection of international and interdisciplinary views on the diary of a woman who died by suicide. The new edition continues to suggest that any singular view is inadequate and needs to be supplemented by others in efforts to fully understand suicide." - Steven Stack, PhD, Wayne State University, director of the Center for Suicide Research

"Highly recommended to all suicide researchers and students. Reading Katie's diary is like having Katie speaking to you directly, especially about all the pains she was going through. Katie's diary was carefully analyzed by prominent researchers in this field through various contemporary theoretical frameworks and concepts, which further illustrates the complexity of understanding the suicidal mind." - Bob Lew, PhD, Department of Social Psychology, faculty of Human Ecology, Putra University of Malaysia
