Suicide remains one of the most pressing public health concerns
across the world. Expensive in terms of the human cost and
associated suffering, the economic costs, the social costs and the
spiritual costs, it affects millions of people every year. This
important reference work collects together a wide range of research
around suicide and suicide prevention, in order to guide future
research and provide guidance for professionals about the best way
to respond meaningfully to suicidal patients. Responding to the
need for multi-disciplinary and international research to deepen
our understanding of suicide, it demonstrates where our knowledge
is firmly evidence-based and where new areas for research are
emerging, as well as highlighting where we know little. Divided
into six parts, each with its own editorial introduction and
commentary, it explores research with and about survivors of
suicide and indigenous populations. The remaining sections look at
suicide-focused research in psychiatric nursing, psychiatry,
psychology, and social work and allied health. It is of interest to
all advanced students, practitioners and scholars interested in
suicide and its impact and prevention.

The diagnosis and treatment of patients with BPD can be fraught
with anxiety, uncertainty, and complexity. How welcome, then, is
the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline
Personality Disorder, which teaches clinicians what to do and how
to do it, as well as what not to do and how to avoid it. The
author, a renowned researcher and clinician, has developed a new
evidence-based treatment, Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) that
comfortably utilizes cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic
interventions that are practical and simple to implement. Because
psychoeducation is an important component of GPM, the book teaches
clinicians how to educate their patients about BPD, including the
role of genetics and the expected course of the disease. This
approach offers advantages both to practitioners, who become more
adept at honest communication, and to patients, who are encouraged
to have realistic hopes and to focus on strategies for coping with
BPD in daily life. The book is structured for maximum learning,
convenience, and utility, with an impressive array of features. *
Section I provides background on BPD, including the myths that
sometimes discourage clinicians from treating these patients and
that hamper the effective treatment of the disorder.* Section II,
the GPM Manual, provides a condensed and clear description of the
most essential and specific GPM interventions that clinicians can
learn from and use in everyday practice.* Section III, the GPM
Workbook, offers case vignettes which reference chapters from the
manual. Each vignette has a number of "decision points" where
alternative interventions are proposed and discussed. * To further
facilitate learning, a set of nine interactions is found in a
series of online video demonstrations. Here, readers can see in
vivo illustrations of the GPM model in practice.* Finally, a set of
appendices provides critical information, such as a comparison of
GPM with other evidence-based treatments of BPD, scaling risk and
response strategies, and family guidelines. Designed to be a basic
case management text for all hospital, outpatient clinic, or
office-based psychiatrists or mental health professionals who
assume primary responsibility for the treatment of those with BPD,
the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline
Personality Disorder constitutes a breakthrough in the treatment of
these often misunderstood patients.
