Silent Screams recounts one woman’s painful struggle following a severe psychological crisis. After an attempted suicide reveals the doctor/patient relationship that she has had with her psychiatrist for many years, she takes a look back at her life to understand how she arrived at such a painful and critical point, tracing her background from childhood and including the effects of a long-term physical illness and many emotional traumas.-----Believing that a formal education in psychology might help her understand her psychiatrist’s point of view, she enters college, but following graduate school, her life takes a different path when she and her husband have an opportunity to become self-employed. A bitter divorce and a destructive relationship throw her into a long emotional tailspin and it takes some time for her to recover.----She continues to study and work feeling the majority of life’s tests are behind, so she is shocked when a rare, debilitating, and incurable disease begins taking hold, one that will dictate how she must live the rest of her life.
