Treatment of suicidal people takes three forms: prevention -
strategies to avert conditions leading to suicide; intervention -
treatment and care during the crisis; and postvention - response
after the event has occurred. Unlike other current literature, here
the focus is on the state of the art of intervention. This type of
examination is essential, because suicidal people themselves are in
need of such treatments - crisis intervention, psychotherapy,
psychopharmacology and hospitalization.
Written by professionals in the field, the Treatment of Suicidal
People allows readers to participate in a learning experience.
First is a case presentation of an individual - Arthur Inman - and
his long road toward suicide, as chronicled in his personal diary.
The seond section puts forth guidelines for the evaluation of
suicide risk and crisis intervention. A focus on more sustained
efforts in psychotherapy is next, a theme which is continued in the
fourth part by addressing psychiatric issues that are essential for
treatment of highly disturbed and lethal patients.
The following section examines a number of clinical and legal
issues that transcend any one population of suicidal people, and
any particular treatment approach or context. And lastly, the
volume returns to Arthur Inman, with case consultations providing
alternative perspectives and recommendations on his treatment.
Suicide and related forms of self-injurious behaviour can be
circumvented, if the involved professionals are sufficiently
trained in assessment and prevention.
