Helping the Suicidal Person: Tips and Techniques for Professionals

Helping the Suicidal Person provides a highly practical toolbox for mental health professionals. The book first covers the need for professionals to examine their own personal experiences and fears around suicide, moves into essential areas of risk assessment, safety planning, and treatment planning, and then provides a rich assortment of tips for reducing the person’s suicidal danger and rebuilding the wish to live. The techniques described in the book can be interspersed into any type of therapy, no matter what the professional’s theoretical orientation is and no matter whether it’s the client’s first, tenth, or one-hundredth session. Clinicians don’t need to read this book in any particular order, or even read all of it. Open the book to any page, and find a useful tip or technique that can be applied immediately.Additional ISBNs9781138946941|9781315665825, 113894694X|1315665824, 9781138946958, 1138946958Helping the Suicidal Person Tips and Techniques for Professionals 1st Edition by Stacey Freedenthal and Publisher Routledge.
