The Life of Charles W. Denko, PH.D, M.D. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781879384910)

Joanne Denko is the mother of three sons, grandmother of six, and a physician by profession (psychiatrist by specialty). In each of these roles and relationships, she has been alert to experiences appropriate to write about in psychiatric journal articles, nonfiction books, and poems. Joanne's late husband taught her the rudiments of scientific writing, and she found his comments and suggestions invaluable in all of her work. This book, which consists of vignettes about the life of their grandfather, was created primarily for Charles and Joanne's grandchildren. A prizewinning poet, journalist, and public speaker, Joanne graduated with highest honors from Michigan's Hope College. She received her medical degree from Johns Hopkins University and her master's degree in psychiatry from the University of Michigan. A member of the Cleveland Psychiatric Society, Dr. Denko treated psychiatric patients for decades. Committed to the literary and cultural life of her community, she leads a local "Great Books" discussion group. Joanne Denko lives in Ohio.
