Milica Schraggeová

(1954)

She graduated in psychology at the Comenius University in Bratislava. Currently she teaches at the Department of Psychology at the Philosophical Faculty.  The need to cope with the tragic death of her son was the main reason she decided to write the book Everything´s Gonna Be Alright Till the Autumn. Professionally she devoted to various research topics in psychology, the results of which she published at domestic and foreign professional journals. In recent years she is focusing on the issue of unemployment, she has led several research projects and published her book Unemployment in Psychological Contexts (Psychoprof Publishing, 2011).
Diaries of Filip, a gifted student of architecture who lost short-term memory as a result of cancer, became the basis for the story so unpredictable, painful, yet full of hope, as can only real life be. The book offers the most intimate survival of the mother, who, despite being a psychologist, is experiencing a struggle for his son's health as well as any other mother. Hopelessness is alternated with the need to go on even in a situation that seems intractable. Limits of what man can bear, are being passed, the story characters - parents, grandparents, friends and doctors learn to cope with the changing reality.

It is a book about death, about the importance of family and power of relationships that are relentlessly tested  in such an extreme situation. It is about the ability to change the surroundings and trying to keep life "as before", about the health system, friendships and longings.
