| Summary: | Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the USA, and among young people age 15-19 it is exceeded in frequency as a cause of death only by accidents. Suicide is a worldwide phenomenon occurring in all countries and among all racial and ethnic groups. Suicidal behavior touches many lives and knows few boundaries. "This book provides the most current and comprehensive source of information, guidelines, and case studies for working with clients at risk of suicide. It offers clinicians, counselors, and other mental health professionals a practical toolbox on three main areas of interest." "While addressed mainly to psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals for use in serving their clients, as well as students of psychology, Assessment, Treatment, and Prevention of Suicidal Behavior is also an accessible and valuable resource for educators, school counselors, and others in related fields."--BOOK JACKET. |
