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:

  1. To describe five “advanced warning signs” of heightened suicide risk.
  2. To list three kinds of therapeutic responses to suicide threat.

*Sessions may be edited for content and to preserve confidentiality*
