The first book of its kind to address suicide, self-injury, and violence in school settings

The frequency of suicide, students' self-injury, and violence in school settings requires preventative and response policies and procedures for the safety and protection of faculty and students. Suicide, Self-Injury, and Violence in the Schools: Assessment, Prevention, and Intervention Strategies is the first book to provide first responders—specifically, school counselors, psychologists, social workers, teachers, and administrators—with information on assessing risk. In addition, guidelines are included on how to respond to these crises in a practical and proactive manner that minimizes risk and/or impact on the school community.

The authors, nationally renowned experts on suicide, self-injury, and violence among children and adolescents, present:

Critical information on suicide and suicidal behaviors specific to children and adolescents

Pertinent issues related to nonsuicidal self-injury behaviors

Guidance on conducting effective face-to-face clinical interviews with violent and potentially violent students and their families

Important prevention and screening topics for middle and high school counselors

Discussion on psychological first aid in response to school violence survivors and their parents

Filled with mini-case vignettes, as well as checklists for school personnel to use, this timely reference supports school professionals in devising the very best prevention, intervention, and post?crisis strategies. It is a much-needed resource for establishing a collaborative, nonsuicidal, nonviolent environment both within and outside the school setting.

Suicide, Self-Injury, and Violence in the Schools: Assessment, Prevention, and Intervention Strategies

This book is well written and the contents are so important for any school counselor. I think the news has proven that violence doesn't just happen in inner-city schools. All counselors need to be prepared no matter where their school is located! I am so glad that this was required reading for me for a class.
By Ellen Rodenhauser Rebman
This book was assigned as part of my psychopathology course for my school counseling degree. It is an excellent resource. I feel much more prepared to deal with serious, life-threatening issues in the schools after reading this text. I would highly recommend it to any graduate students, school counselors, and even teachers. This is definitely a book worth keeping and I will not be selling it back.

I did only give it four stars because I wish the authors had included more information on programs listed as best practices, as well as a guide to implement those programs to be a success within the school. The book is heavily focused on intervention and postvention strategies. I wish it had spent an equal amount of time on prevention.

Review

"..warrants a place on the shelf of any suicidologist, clinician or researcher with an interest in suicidal behaviour..the editor and contributors ought to be commended on a comprehensive and lucid volume." (British Journal of Clinical Psychology)

"This book suggests treatments and interventions that may prevent those we can reach completing suicide and offers greater understanding of the suicide process that may enable us to help those who survive the people did not reach." (Mental Health Today, February 2002)

"…For those of you who daily encounter this problem I have no hesitation in recommending this book…" (Accident & Emergency Nursing, No.10, 2002)

“…a book that does exactly what it says on the cover…a wealth of experience in a highly accessible volume…” (European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Vol 12(313), 2003)

From the Back Cover

How can suicide be prevented and treated by mental health professionals?
This book offers a clinical guide to the assessment, treatment and prevention of suicidal behaviour, from a new and useful theoretical perspective - a developmental process approach. The book presents the arguments and research evidence that suicidal behaviour is not just a response to current emotional crises, but is influenced by persistent characteristics that can be defined in psychological and biological terms.
The authors bring together research-based evidence that establishes three key aspects of the developmental process approach: suicidal behaviour results from the interaction between stressful life events and an individual vulnerability; this individual vulnerability is itself the product of psychobiological factors, genetics and past life events; vulnerability, in this sense, influences how the individual perceives, interprets and reacts to adverse life events, perhaps leading to hopelessness and suicidal behaviour.
Psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and other mental health practitioners will appreciate the conceptual and clinical value of this book based on its:

  • Description of biological and psychological developmental processes leading to suicide, integrating evidence-based information from a broad range of disciplines
  • Psychobiological definition of long- and short-tem risk factors for suicide, and innovative approach to psychological and biological targets for treatment and prevention
  • Cutting-edge discussion of implications for the study and treatment of suicidal behaviour, by some of the leading authorities in the field.
