Synopsis

Like so many of my colleagues, I currently tare for, and over the years have treated, many patients at high risk for suicide. I am no stranger to many unsettling moments, hours, and days when I have worried about the safety of each of these patients.... Reading through The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Suicide Assessment and Management, I became aware of a progressive reduction of my anxiety and an increased level of confidence about my treatment of patients at high suicide risk. The source of this transformation is the unprecedented body of knowledge and skills imparted by this textbook regarding so many relevant aspects of the evaluation and treatment of the suicidal patient. I know that many lives will be spared as a result of this book. I also know that this revolutionary textbook will help many of my fellow mental health practitioners avoid upsetting and potentially damaging aftermaths of patient suicide.
