Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"Aldridge (medicine, U. of Witten-Herdecke) argues for a more holistic approach to the treatment of suicidal tendencies, incorporating the social context of the patient's life and involving the whole family in the intervention process. He suggests that suicide can be perceived as an understandable response to isolation, neglect, conflict, and social disruption, and maintains that suicidal behaviors can be treated through a systematic understanding of the inter-related problems involved in the patient's life." -Book News, Inc
