This second edition updates now a classic text in the field of suicidology. The Suicidal Patient continues to be a worthy source of relevant empirical information on the clinical and legal standards of care for this high-risk population.
Combining clinical expertise with legal insight, Dr. Bongar proposes a working model for the assessment, management, and treatment of suicidal patients in both inpatient and outpatient contexts. His suggestions for optimal clinical practice provide additional guidance on sophisticated risk-management strategies for suicide prevention and postvention.
New material on cross-cultural assessment and management, the newest case law, and several risk estimators and assessment scales, arms psychologists with the knowledge they need to care for suicidal patients and to better serve all of their patients. This volume will be invaluable to thousands of psychologists and mental health professionals as a reliable, practical, and sensitive resource on suicidal patients.
