Suicide: Risk Assessment & Risk Management - Softcover
Suicide creates great suffering for the survivors - the family members, friends, community, and caregivers who were involved with the victim. Preventing suicide is understandably the top priority for clinicians who work with very disturbed mentally ill clients.
This comprehensive update provides a listing of the known demographic risk factors for suicide, as well as a practical, comprehensive approach for the assessment and management of the suicidal client. Special topics, such as legal liability, approaches to self-injurious behavior, and suicide within the correctional system are also addressed.
