Sommario/riassunto

"This edition offers new perspectives on suicide at a variety of levels, such as the medical and social use of destigmatizing and more precise language. In addition, chapter authors review research that identifies additional suicide risk factors and their clinical implications. Current issues related to suicide are also discussed, including nonfatal, self-injurious behavior; physician-assisted suicide; and teaching suicide risk assessment and management during psychiatric residency. This third edition also examines the increased rates of suicide among specific populations, including children, adolescents, and college students, and makes recommendations regarding suicide risk management in these



populations"--
