Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Harvard Guide puts the best and the brightest of consulting suicidologists on the practicing clinician's bookshelf, . . . . must-read." (Lanny Berman, executive director, American Association of Suicidology)
"[This book] presents the most up-to-date material and combines this framework with practical suggestions for the clinician. This is sure to become a classic." (Alan F. Schatzberg, Kenneth T. Norris, Jr. Professor and chairman, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine)
"The threat of suicide is riveting; its reality is devastating; it is our life-or-death clinical challenge. This volume is the singularly comprehensive, authoritative, definitive, and useful text on suicide. We are now strengthened for our work." (Jerrold F. Rosenbaum, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School)
"For the clinician needing help with a suicidal patient?this is your book. For the student or researcher seeking the state of the art on suicide?this is your book." (Robert M. A. Hirschfeld, Titus Harris Distinguished Professor and chair, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston)
Product Description
This vital resource--edited by Harvard Medical School's Douglas Jacobs, a nationally recognized expert on suicide and depression--is the definitive guide for helping mental health professionals determine the risk for suicide and appropriate interventions for suicidal or at-risk patients. Created primarily for mental health clinicians (with several chapters directed toward primary care physicians), the book is a hands-on guide for those who are often the first line of defense for assessing if a patient or client is suicidal.
Comprehensive in scope, the book offers a wealth of information about such useful topics as inpatient and outpatient issues, psychopharmacology, and advice about working with special populations. Most importantly, the book's contributors detail effective techniques for intervention and offer a model of suicide assessment that focuses on predisposing conditions, potentiating conditions, and specific suicide inquiries. As a special feature, the book also includes a helpful section on contracts--agreements made with the patient not to harm themselves--and useful facts about the subsequent liability issues. In addition, there is a compelling analysis of the controversial issues surrounding assisted suicide as well as an honest personal account of suicidality from a professional who has experienced it for herself.
