Worldwide, at least 1 million people die by suicide each year and
many millions more attempt suicide. However, suicide has been
increasingly recognised as a preventable problem in many cases.
Because of this, and the rising rates of suicide in young people,
many countries have established national suicide prevention
strategies. These include the United Kingdom, the USA, Scandinavian
countries, other countries in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
There is also increasing emphasis on the treatment of suicidal
people and those who have made suicide attempts. In order to be
effective it is imperative that strategies for treatment and
prevention are based on sound scientific evidence. In this book
leading figures from psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology, public
health, and social medicine bring together the research evidence
concerning the key elements in suicide prevention and treatment of
suicidal behaviour and translate it into implications for practical
action. This includes social and public health policy as well as
clinical practice. The book draws together the evidence relevant to
treatment and prevention, and uses this in order to highlight the
most effective approaches. The range of initiatives covered is
wide, reflecting the complex nature of suicide and hence the need
for a range of approaches. This book will be an essential source
for anyone concerned with the design and implementation of
effective suicide prevention strategies, including clinicians
working with individual patients, strategic policy makers, and
researchers.
