A psychologist involved in direct patient care has a better than 1-in-5 chance of losing a patient to suicide during his or her professional career—for the average psychiatrist, the odds are better than 50–50. The Suicidal Patient proposes realistic standards of care and a high-quality working model for the assessment, management, and treatment of the suicidal patient in both inpatient and outpatient contexts. It also combines detailed suggestions for optimal clinical practice with sophisticated risk management strategies for both suicide prevention and postvention.
The Suicidal Patient includes an extensive clinical and legal bibliography, along with suicide risk estimators and legal action guidelines for optimal psychological practice—and much more. This volume is for those involved in direct service, training, supervision, and administration of programs where suicidal patients are seen.
