Praise for Paul Raeburn's Acquainted with the Night, a memoir of raising children with depression and bipolar disorder:
Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter
You have done a masterful job in relating your experiences with your family…It took a lot of courage to come forward with such a personal account. Know that it was well worth the effort.
Psychology Today
A cathartic tale about the writer's efforts to find help for his bipolar son and depressed daughter…Raeburn's story burns with emotional honesty.
Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and author of The Unquiet Mind
An outstanding guide to the experience and treatment of bipolar illness in children.
Daphne Uviller in The Washington Post
Raeburn does his children and others like them a great justice by making this book more than just a gritty expose of their private lives. It is also a searing and eloquent indictment of America's insurance industry that ought to land CEOs in jail.
