Recent research in the area of suicidology has provided significantnew insights in the epidemiological,psychopathological,andbiological characteristics of suicidal behaviour. The InternationalHandbook of Suicide and Attempted Suicide is the first book tobring together this expertise and translate it into practicalguidelines for those responsible for policy issues and for thoseinvolved in the treatment and prevention of suicidal behaviour.
Leading international authorities provide a truly comprehensiveand research-based reference to understanding,treating,andpreventing suicidal behaviour.They explore concepts and theorieswhich best guide work within this field and detail key researchwhich has supported conceptual developments,preventiveinterventions and clinical treatment.
"No self-respecting worker in deliberate self-harm and suicideprevention, either clinical or research, can afford to be withoutaccess to this comprehensive handbook - possession and regular use,may well become a marker of serious involvement in the subject!...This is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, informative andwell-written source of information on sucide and suicidalbehaviour...an invaluable work of reference which will be essentialfor clinicians and researchers for many years to come."
