| Summary |
Patient suicide is not a rare event in psychological practice; it should be considered a real personal and occupational hazard by those psychologists involved in direct patient care. "The Suicidal Patient: Clinical and Legal Standards of Care" reviews the theoretical and empirical literature in this high-risk patient population, combining clinical knowledge with legal and statutory information. This book proposes a working model for the assessment, management, and treatment of the suicidal patient (in both inpatient and outpatient contexts) that combines suggestions for optimal clinical practice with sophisticated risk management strategies in the context of suicide prevention and postvention. . . . This volume will become a standard reference in the area of psychological practice. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved). |
