Patienthood, Doctorhood, and Parasuicidality

"Ellenhorn has written a compelling, multi-layered, and complex text. Its overriding strength is its erudition. Unlike other texts on "how to treat...," whatever the disorder may be, Ellenhorn takes the reader through the theoretical, philosophical, empirical, and clinical issues involved in the paradox of treating the parasuicidal patient within the present system. His arguments for change must engender in the reader a goal of becoming part of the change. For many of us, we have been, over the years, part of the problem."Ellenhorn, Ross D. is the author of 'Patienthood, Doctorhood, and Parasuicidality', published 2007 under ISBN 9780826115461 and ISBN 0826115462.
