SUMMARY

"The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Suicide Assessment and Management" calls on the authority of 40 expert contributors reflecting a wide range of clinical and forensic experience. The authors provide actual cases accompanied by analysis that integrates clinical findings with textual discussion, along with chapter-end "key points," in order to guide practitioners through the process of suicide risk assessment and management. The book first addresses suicide risk assessment in children and adolescents, the elderly, and in jail and prison populations. It also stresses the importance of understanding demographic, cultural, and gender factors and using psychological tests and scales in suicide assessment and management. It then covers treatment options'psychopharmacological/ECT, psychodynamic, and collaborative, or "split," treatment'and provides specific guidelines for assessing and managing suicide risk in patients with major mental disorders. The book also discusses coping with the anxiety and fatigue arising from the care of suicidal patients, the professional's role following a patient's suicide, and legal issues involving standard of care and liability. Suicide risk exists along an ever-changing continuum. This book demonstrates that risk assessment is a process, not an event, and clearly shows how sound assessment can lead to more effective management of patients at risk for suicide.Textbook of Suicide Assessment And Management , 1 was published 2006 under ISBN 9781585622139 and ISBN 1585622133.
