How to Identify Suicidal People: A Systematic Approach to Risk Assessment

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"In an effort to help practitioners with the daunting task of evaluating suicide risk potential in their patients (a misdiagnosis can very well mean the death of a patient), Dr. Thomas White, a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in suicide assessment, has developed an entirely novel method - an actual system - of conducting risk assessments that are clinically relevant and legally defensible. This is the first attempt ever to simplify and organize the risk assessment process into a logical, structured format, with practical guidelines and specific step-by-step instruction that can be followed from the beginning of the assessment to the end. Embracing a multidimensional, biopsychosocial approach, the system addresses all of the risk factors and clinical techniques that make up a thorough and insightful risk assessment." -From the Publisher
