500			_aThis is a book about an intelligent, talented, well-educated, well-loved, handsome young man who killed himself at the age of twenty-six. Though he had been diagnosed as "mentally ill," as schizophrenic, and by one hospital as schizo-affective, and had had a very difficult two and one-half years since his "breakdown," going in and out of "sanity," I believe that during the month or so before he died, he was never more sane, and I believe that his decision to commit suicide was made with a clear and reasonable mind. I was with him a great deal during that time, and he was very communicative; that is why I believe this. The main reason I want this book to be published is to try to help other people who are caught in the same kind of problem, the individual who has the same dilemma, those who are dear to him and to whom he is dear. - p. xv.
