This book provides a comprehensive overview of the emotional,
behavioral and cognitive characteristics of adolescents who have
attempted suicide. Each chapter opens with a case study vignette
from the author's extensive clinical files followed by a summary of
the empirical literature. Assessment and treatment practices close
each chapter. While suicide is the third largest killer of
adolescents, most suicide attempts do not result in death.
Therefore the treatment of the suicide attempter following the
attempt becomes a significant part of the clinician's work with
these adolescents. Moreover, the precursors and behavioral markers
for a suicide attempt become important signals for the school
counselor, youth worker, or therapist. This book also include
assessment measures to use when evaluating an adolescent who has
attempted suicide.
