Joan E Childs
The Author

     In 1995, I published my first book, THE MYTH OF THE MAIDEN: On Being A Woman. Although it never hit the best seller list, (at least not as of this writing), it did impact the lives of many of the women who read my book. So much so, that I decided to address the issues of women facing the challenges of the 21st century and the myths we grew up with.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Psychotherapist Joan Child’s New Book Details her Struggle to Understand her Daughter’s Tragic Bipolar Disorder

Why Did She Jump? An Angel to Remember by Joan E. Childs looks at bipolar disorder from the viewpoint of a grieving mother and noted psychotherapist

HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA – Therapist Joan E. Childs offers hope and answers to families struggling with bipolar disorder, in her moving memoir about her daughter’s suicide, Why Did She Jump? An Angel to Remember.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is the third most common mood disorder. Psychotherapist Joan E. Childs’ beloved daughter Pam suffered from the disease, wavering between uncontrollable anger and caring generosity, as she wreaked endless havoc in her family. But when Pam jumped from a 15th floor balcony to her death, Childs began to realize the inadequacy of her health profession to treat or cure this terrible mental illness.
Strikingly written and deeply compassionate, Why Did She Jump? An Angel to Remember offers a sensitive glimpse into Pam’s bipolar disorder and her subsequent death. Childs explores the dark days of grief and guilt as a mother, and her frustration as a professional, who despite her decades of knowledge could not provide the resources her daughter so desperately needed. Despite the struggles of today, Childs bravely and movingly suggests that there is always hope for tomorrow.
