Frederic Flach Bücher

Wohl jeder Mensch macht irgendwann in seinem Leben die Erfahrung, dass er Energie und Selbstvertrauen verloren hat, dass er nicht mehr lieben kann, dass es ihm an Schlaf und Appetit mangelt, dass er überempfindlich und ängstlich untrügliche Zeichen dafür, dass er an einer Depression leidet, dass aus der Lust am Leben eine Last des Lebens geworden ist.Ebenso kompetent wie verständlich behandelt der Psychiater Dr. F. Flach alle wichtigen Fragen zum Thema Depression, ihre Ursachen und Wirkungen, die Möglichkeiten der Therapie und des Umgangs mit depressiven Mitmenschen. Vor allem aber erreicht es Flach, dem Betroffenen selbst die Scheu und die Ratlosigkeit seinen ungewohnten Reaktionen gegenüber zu nehmen und ihm Mut zum Weiterleben zu machen.

She was a wonderful child -- charming, gifted, full of energy -- and she seemed to have a wonderful life ahead of her. Then the incomprehensible happened. At age 13, Rickie was diagnosed schizophrenic, removed from her caring family, and condemned to long, heartbreaking years in mental institutions.This is the spellbinding story of Rickie's agonizing odyssey through illness and recovery, told by her father, internationally renowned psychiatrist Frederic Flach, and enriched with Rickie's own recollections. Indeed, part of the tragedy for Rickie and her family was the many years lost because the medical community of which her father is a distinguished member was unable to bring her back to health.For anyone whose family has ever been touched by crisis, RICKIE is an unforgettably moving and powerfully uplifting book."A touching story." -- The New York Times Book Review
