- WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
FROM THE FOREMOST LEADER IN THE FIELD
An Action Plan for Confronting the SeriousPsychological Crisis Among Students
"Kadison, chief of mental health services at Harvard, and DiGeronimo are deeply concerned about the marked growth in serious mental health problems on campus: they note statistics showing that almost half of all students will become seriously depressed during their college career and may engage repeatedly in binge drinking. . . . Kadison and DiGeronimo do a commendable job of outlining the many stresses students face, such as academic pressure, financial problems, feelings of social inadequacy and, for women, a fear of sexual assault. In a stark chapter, the authors outline the self-destructive coping mechanisms adopted by those with emotional problems, including eating disorders, drug abuse, cutting, and suicide attempts. Parents will find sensible suggestions for helping their children deal with college life. Most important, say the authors, is keeping the lines of communication open by listening to children without judgment or criticism. Parents, college counselors and administrators, and students themselves (to whom the last chapter is addressed) will find helpful, if sometimes disturbing, information here." --Publishers Weekly
"A wise and highly readable guide."--Elizabeth Studley Nathans, dean of freshman, Harvard College
"Excellent."--Lorraine Siggins, M.D., psychiatrist-in-chief, Yale University Health Service; clinical professor of psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine
"An extraordinary book."--Patricia Light, Ed.D., director, MBA Support Services, Harvard Business School
