Richard Brockman is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Attending Clinical Psychiatrist at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. When he was seven years old he found his mother’s body after she died of suicide. This traumatizing experience re-shaped the narrative of his life.


In his book, "Life After Death: Surviving Suicide,” Dr. Brockman he shares the memories of his childhood, the many gaps he has in those memories, and how the man survived while the boy tried to make sense of it all.
