Politics, Death And Addiction : A Powerful Story Of A Mother's Reaction To Her Daughter's Suicide

This book "tells the story of a mother's reaction to her daughter's suicide. The author, an active Member of Parliament, psychologist and mother became addicted to alcohol and 'pokies', while in Parliament after her eldest daughter's suicide. The impact of unacknowledged grief and undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder on Hirsh's life was played out in the public arena of Victorian politics. The story offers insight for others suffering from similar challenges, by providing a professional self-analysis."--Back cover.
