There is one day in Joan Childs' life that she wishes she could do over: the day her daughter, Pam, a brilliant psychotherapist, plunged from a 15-story building to her death. In this vivid memoir, Childs (herself a psychotherapist) explains how her daughter's life was taken by the most unforgiving of executioners: bipolar disorder. It was the delusions, not her daughter, who made the final decision to end her life.

Joan E. Childs, a licensed clinical social worker, renowned psychotherapist, author and inspirational speaker, shares her journey and experience in mental health since 1978. During this series, she will discuss the importance of addressing mental health issues and the impacts of childhood trauma on adult life.
