Product Description
Almost one million people die worldwide by suicide each year, making it one of the leading causes of death throughout the lifespan. Suicide attempts outnumber deaths by suicide by a ratio of at least 25:1, those who attempt suicide are at high risk of later death by suicide, and suicide risk is one of the most frequent reasons for admissions to inpatient psychiatric units. Treatment of those at risk for suicide is thus a pressing priority. Research over the past two decades has led to the development of excellent empirically supported treatment methods. This book aims to increase clinicians' access to empirically supported interventions for suicidal behavior, with the hope that these methods will become the standard in clinical practice. |

At the same time, the degree to which interventions with established efficacy apply to suicidal patients is unclear, because these patients are often excluded from clinical trials. ...

| The Suicidal Mind
by Edwin S. Shneidman (Author)

The Suicidal Mind brims with insight into the suicidal impulse and with helpful suggestions for counteraction methods. Dr. Edwin Shneidman presents a bold and simple premise: the main cause of suicide is psychological pain or "psychache" (sic-ak). Thus the key to preventing suicide is not so much the study of the structure of the brain, or the...
