As our knowledge of the change and turmoil of adolescence grows, so
the number of issues on which psychotherapeutic techniques can shed
light increases: this monograph focuses on one of the most urgent.
It provides not only practical insights into dealing with suicidal
or potentially suicidal adolescentswith an emphasis on prevention
of the problem as early as possible - but also a model of the way
in which adolescents may find themselves becoming suicidal. Suicide
attempts are rare in childhood; they are generally triggered after
puberty by the adolescent's reaction to changes in his newly
sexually mature body. It is the body that is perceived as the
enemy, and sometimes the death of the body seems the only recourse.
The adolescent who actually attempts to kill himself no longer
doubts his actions or his solutions or his mental creations. At the
time of his decision to kill himself, he is taken over by his need
for peace more than by the fact of his own death. The monograph
contains papers on this topic written by members of the staff of
the Brent Adolescent Centre/Centre for Research into Adolescent
Breakdown together with the proceedings of a conference on "The
Suicidal Adolescent" held in October 1993. It contains a wealth of
case material illuminating many aspects of a harrowing problem.
Because the book comes directly out of the Centre's work as a
walk-in centre, the emphasis is on being alert to danger signals
and on methods of arresting their causes. It will, therefore, be of
interest not only to clinicians and therapists but also to workers
in education, medicine, probation, family work or social welfare -
indeed, to anyone who works with adolescents.
