Most people who die by suicide see a clinician prior to taking
their lives. Therefore, one of the most difficult determinations
clinicians must be able to make is whether any given patient is at
risk for suicide in the immediate future. The Suicidal Crisis,
Clinical Guide to the Assessment of Imminent Suicide Risk, is the
first book written specifically to help clinicians evaluate the
risk of such imminent suicidal behavior. The Suicidal Crisis is an
essential work for every mental health professional and for anyone
who would like to have a framework for understanding suicide.
Written by master clinician Dr. Igor Galynker, the book presents
methods for a systematic and comprehensive assessment of short-term
suicide risk and for conducting risk assessment interviews in
different settings. Dr. Galynker describes suicide as an attempt of
a vulnerable individual to escape an unbearable life situation,
which is perceived as both intolerable and inescapable. What sets
the Suicidal Crisis apart from the other books of its kind is its
sharp focus on those at the highest risk. It presents a wealth of
clinical material within the easy-to-understand and intuitive
framework of the Narrative-Crisis model of suicidal behavior. The
book contains sixty individual case studies of actual suicidal
individuals and their interviews, detailed instructions on how to
conduct such interviews, and risk assessment test cases with answer
keys. A unique feature of the book, not found in any other book on
suicide, is a discussion of how clinicians' emotional responses to
acutely suicidal individuals may help identify those at highest
risk. In this timely and extensively updated edition Galynker
provides a method for understanding the suicidal process, and of
identifying those at the highest risk for taking their lives. Any
clinician who works with suicidal individuals and anybody who knows
someone who has considered suicide will find the book an essential
and illuminating read.
