NOTE TO FAITHFUL READERS:
You may notice that there's no "TO READ" article posted this week.... The TO READ feature will probably appear rather sporadically through the next several months as I focus on writing my book, The Power of Writing: Easing Your Depression with Paper and Pen, to be published in spring 2008 by Ten Speed Press. I'll continue to post a TO WRITE writing exercise each week. And I'll likely come across depression-related topics on occasion that I just can't wait to share. Thanks for your understanding. Keep in touch! --Beth
About Me
- Elizabeth Maynard Schaefer, Ph.D.
- My book, WRITING THROUGH THE DARKNESS: EASING YOUR DEPRESSION WITH PAPER AND PEN, was published by Celestial Arts in June 2008. I've been a science journalist, textbook editor and author, poet, memoirist, creative writing instructor and -- sometimes -- a bipolar depressed person, since earning my Ph.D. in biology at Stanford University in 1991. For the past ten years, I've combined my interests in writing and mental health by teaching creative writing to other people with mood disorders in a class meeting at Stanford's Psychiatry Department. I speak on mental health topics, both personal and professional, to a wide variety of groups.
