My Grandson committed suicide in June. It is heart breaking and I don't know how to help my daughter. We have been close. It seems lately she does not call any more just to talk like we have in the pass or to spend as much time together. I would like to understand WHY. I would do anything to help her. I am OK with this. I would just like to understand why.

About Dan Gottlieb
Welcome to my new blog and weekly on-line chat.
To be considered for an on-line consultation with Dan, send an e-mail describing your concerns to drdangottlieb@aol.com

Every Tuesday at noon I will be live for an hour to chat with one person in real time. Ask Dan Here


Throughout the week I'll be posting entries about research I find interesting, your emails and my responses, random observations about life and current events and recommendations for books, lectures or webpages. Feel free to e-mail me questions, reactions or vignettes about your life though I cannot respond to everyone. And please know that if I use your correspondence, although I will try to disguise identifying characteristics, because this is a public forum, I cannot assure confidentiality.

Understand this is not psychotherapy and cannot be a substitute for it. Further, I cannot assess or diagnose. The purpose of this dialogue is to be educational and perhaps to help writers and viewers gain a different perspective on themselves. People needing help should contact a mental health professional.

Dan Gottlieb is a psychologist and marital therapist and has been in practice nearly 40 years. His career started in community mental health and substance abuse until his accident in 1979 made him a quadriplegic.

Since that time, he has been in private practice. Since 1985, he has been hosting a radio show called "Voices in the Family" on WHYY FM, Philadelphia's NPR affiliate. He was a regular columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 1994 until 2008. He is also the author of four books.
