This review is from: Out of the Darkness: Teens Talk About Suicide (Paperback)
Most of the research on youth suicide focuses on clinical profiling but there aren't many studies that reflect the adolescent's own perspective. Even though the book does not pursue qualitative psychological research (say, discourse analysis), it does achieve the goal of "cruising" the reader (parents of teenagers, hopefully) into the heterogeinity that suicidal adolescents conform. As a clinical psychologist I consider Crook's approach very valuable in improving intervention parameters by rescuing and not putting aside what these kids at risk have to say of their own experience. I believe effective psycotherapy with suicidal teens has to actively incorporate not only risk factors and comorbidity but also individual differences, circumstances and resources.
