Case consultation: Samantha Morrisey: Suicide and the need for support

Article Abstract:

Samantha Morrisey was an obese, 29-year-old woman who suffered from a bipolar disorder. Morrisey's history shows that her problems began during childhood and that her relationship with her parents, especially her mother, had been strained almost as far back as she could remember. Rejected by therapists who had been repelled by her aggressive behavior, the deeply depressed Morrisey committed suicide by smothering herself with a plastic bag. Psychotherapists' comments on Morrisey's case are presented.
