This is Martha Reingold's third book. Her two prior works, Jewish Wry and Other Slices of Life and the Girl Out of Brooklyn are both collections of stories, essays, and poems. Here, in The Seabury Scribblers Present... Martha has donned her non-fiction hat to describe the experience of writing poetry with dementia patients. It was a very special thing to do. She discovered the power of poetry to communicate with people in all stages of dementia. "Poetry is a form of therapy," she says.>Seabury is a wonderful place where senior citizens reside in comfort in independent living, assisted living, and spaces where special attention is available. The Seabury Meadows houses dementia residents and is, as Martha says, "the most inspiring place to work." As a volunteer, she has come to love the residents and the staff that cares for them. Reading this little book, one will learn one way to engage with those people grappling with dementia. To make them laugh. To give them a sense of a job well done. Hats off to Seabury for creating such a grand, comfortable place. This is a story that should be told. It should be read by students of nursing, social work, psychiatry, and psychology. It will be helpful to anyone who interacts with these people.

SMERTE-HJERTE er digte om, hvad det vil sige at være en del af psykiatrien. Psykiaterens kontinuitetsnotat bliver her til et rum, hvor patient og behandler skriver til hinanden i et forsøg på at finde et nyt sprog for indre tilstande og åbne op for andre måder at anskue kategorier som rask/syg og patient/læge på.

'One of the most powerful books of the year' Daily Mail'Nobody can make the serious funny and the funny serious quite like Ruby.' - Alastair CampbellDear Reader,Checking into a mental clinic wasn't exactly on my radar in 2022. Writing about it wasn't either. But here we are.I spent a lifetime trying to create a 'front' to give everyone the illusion that all is well. It wasn't, and it isn't. Now I look back and I think, 'what the f*ck was that all about?'I began the book trying to find meaning by going on various, life-changing journeys, I ended up in a mental clinic; obviously things didn't work out the way I expected. This is the story of what happened after the mental car crash . . . From then on, the journey had to turn inward. It turns out I wasn't looking for meaning, I was looking for home.I'm not a fiction writer. I can't fake it. I could say I rode into the sunset, but life isn't like that unless you're a cowboy. Truth is I'm not as well as I thought I was.These days, trying to stay sane in a completely chaotic world makes life incredibly difficult. For those readers who are deep in the darkness of mental illness, I hope my book makes you feel less alone.Take care, love,Ruby x---------------------------------------------------------------------'If you buy only one book this year, make it this one.' - Joanna Lumley'A true tour de force. We're all a little messed up in our own ways, but we should all strive to be as fabulously fearless as Ruby.' - Fearne CottonAs seen on Channel 5 CastawaySunday Times Bestseller, May 2023

Efter et barskt og længerevarende sygdomsforløb dør Joys datter Signe af en hjernetumor, som det viste sig, hun havde levet med siden teenageårene, og som i årenes løb havde været årsag til de personlighedsforstyrrelser, der førte til selvmordstanker og flere nytteløse indlæggelser på psykiatrisk hospital. Først da Signe bliver fundet bevidstløs i sin lejlighed, og en læge ved indlæggelsen observerer nogle mistænkelige trækninger i hendes ene ben, bliver hun scannet.Den scanning forandrer fuldstændig livet for Signe og familien og fører til to operationer med tre års mellemrum og mange behandlinger.Fortællingen beskriver de udfordringer, man støder på i det danske sygehus- og social- og sundhedsvæsen, når alvorlig sygdom bliver et livsvilkår, og om omkostningerne for den nære families relationer.Men også om dejlige stunder med optimisme, glæde og gode oplevelser, som da Signe møder den mand, hun bliver gift med, en måned før hun dør.Signes egne dagbogsnotater fra tiden før den rigtige diagnose og under hele sygeforløbet er anvendt i fortællingen.Bogen er en mors beretning om kampen mod tumoren, om håb og kærlighed, om dejlige stunder med glæde og optimisme. Og den store sorg det er at miste et barn
