Delving into a topic of perennial interest and concern,
particularly among teenagers, this important volume addresses the
full range of issues related to suicide and suggests ways to help
those who struggle. While the risk of suicide is increasing across
age groups, the good news is that with timely intervention, most
suicides are preventable. Written primarily for high school and
college students as well as for their teachers and parents, this
guide combines relevant research and theories about suicide with
current clinical thinking and approaches to diagnosis and
treatment. Going beyond the clinical, the volume also explores
suicide in history and in popular culture and examines relevant
cultural, religious, moral, and ethical viewpoints. It looks at
suicide among various demographic groups, probes psychological
motivations and methods used, and discusses the controversy
surrounding a person's right to die. What differentiates this work
from others is that it covers the breadth of the subject but also
considers issues in enough depth to make their importance and
complexity clear. Readers will better understand the problem of
suicide, its impact, and the approaches that can be used to prevent
suicide and deal more effectively with at-risk individuals.
Examines the topic from a variety of perspectives and provides
insights into current issues and controversies, such as
doctor-assisted suicide Discusses suicide among a variety of age
groups and social classes, not just teenagers and college students
Draws on the author's 40 years of clinical and academic experience
as well as on the most up-to-date scholarly and professional
literature Serves as a gateway to other resources and further study
