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:
