the Tender Years

The Tender Years QT Saunders ‘The Tender Years’ is my autobiography, a true and honest account of my life from birth to the present day. It takes in what for many, are taboo subjects: - childhood sexual abuse, self-harm in various measures, and psychiatric care today – as we leave the 20th Century. My own psychiatric care takes in the hub of ‘the System’, the receiving end of in-patient and out-patient or ‘client’ services – which is still much in need of improvement. I try to describe the many mistakes that may be made in this ‘hit and miss’ side of medicine. The book embraces a host of emotional feelings, captured in a format that adults should find inspirational to read. One of the key reasons for writing the book is that it hints of the physical as well as the emotional scars. Hopefully my later years will successively become less ‘tender’ from these. In offering a light at the end of the tunnel, if QT Saunders got through a tough life and is still standing – anyone can – and against all the odds. Electric Zen Buddha (as on Face Book)
