This review is from: Evaluating and Treating Adolescent Suicide Attempters: From Research to Practice (Practical Resources for the Mental Health Professional) (Paperback)
I'm currently working on a school-based suicide intervention program in pursuing my PhD degree in Mexico. Eventhough the book covers most areas of interest in youth suicide there are only two chapters (the last two) dedicated to discussing possible empirical guidelines for treating suicide attempters. Naturally, it IS precisely treatment and outcome research with these adolescents that falls behind with what we currently know about teen suicide. Nevertheless, among the significant contributions of the book (profiling youth at-risk and reviewing proximal and distal riks factors for suicide behavior) are the references of scientific journal articles which I'm sure will be of great use to practitioners and grad students in the clinical psychology field. Finally, the case study vignettes offer rich insight on this complex phenomena within a psychosocial perspective.
