Description
Description:
An expanded understanding of the suicidal urge, and reasoning, belongs to the capability of any therapist, since suicide is always a human potential. The therapist needs to come to terms with his/her own suicidal urges, fears and fantasies, and ideas of death as well. Objective reports – diagnosis, demographics, age groups, psychological situation, social history, personal styles, etc. may or may not help the practitioner in encountering the client’s risk of suicide.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe five “advanced warning signs” of heightened suicide risk.
- To list three kinds of therapeutic responses to suicide threat.
