Primary care is the new frontier for preventing suicide and Bryan
and Rudd are its pioneers, offering wisdom and guidance based on
their experience in bridging behavioral health care to the primary
health care setting. This is a truly significant reference. Lanny
Berman, PhD, ABPP Executive Director, American Association of
Suicidology President, International Association for Suicide
Prevention In their pragmatic and useful book titled Managing
Suicide Risk in Primary Care, Bryan and Rudd provide an essential
reference guide for health care professionals working in primary
care settings."--PsycCRITIQUES This book offers a comprehensive
approach that can help the physician become competent to assess and
intervene with suicidal risk as well as lessen his or her anxiety
when dealing with patients at suicide risk. Needless to say, this
can be a life and death matter for some patients... One of the
great strengths of this book is how they have adapted insights and
interventions from traditional mental health care for the
uniqueness of primary care... I highly recommend this book for any
professional working in primary care. It will be taken off the
shelf for reference and reviewed many times in the course of a
career.--Family Medicine Journal Roughly forty-five percent of
individuals who commit suicide make contact with a primary medical
provider in the month prior to their death; nearly twenty percent
make contact within one day of their death. This practical guide
demonstrates how the primary care setting-an increasingly important
provider of mental health treatment-can be an effective place for
preventing suicide and providing ameliorative care. Firmly grounded
in the clinical realities of primary care, Bryan and Rudd address
the key issues that often plague behavioral health consultants
(BHCs) in such settings where appointments are brief, patient
contact is limited, and decision making and treatment are
collaborative. They offer effective strategies for BHCs to manage
patients across a suicidal crisis beginning with the development of
procedures prior to crisis, steps to take during a crisis, planning
for post-crisis care, transition to specialty mental health
facilities, and legal issues. Key Features: Targets techniques for
suicide assessment and prevention in primary care settings
Addresses the clinical realities of working in a primary care
setting and how to adapt them to the needs of suicidal patients
Covers clinical protocols, legal issues, and risk management
Discusses the formation of collaborative relationships with
patients and staff Provides brief interventions with suicidal
patients and post-crisis strategies Written by leading specialists
in behavioral health, primary care, and suicidology
