Written by two expert teachers, the book has been used in courses for trainee psychiatrists and for health professionals throughout the world. Feedback from participants on these courses has informed revision of the new edition. This book is of interest for all mental health professionals who come into contact with patients who present with suicide potential, i.e. all mental health professionals, as well as general health professionals who are often the first point of contact for a suicidal patient.  \u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a review of the epidemiology, risk factors and associated aspects of suicide. It then presents two assessment tools: The Tool for Assessment of Suicide Risk (TASR) provides instruction on how to use it appropriately in the clinic. The Suicide Risk Assessment Guide (SRAG) acts as a self-study program to asess clinical evaluation skills. Both tools were created for use in the authors’ own practice and are now successfully taught to and used by health professionals around the world. Refined through actual experience, these proven tools help assess and evaluate patients with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase vignettes allow the reader to practice using the information they have learned from the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, bulleted lists, tables and flowcharts effectively describe how to use the many factors to assess the risk of suicide in an individual patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction, vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eObjectives, ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Importance of Suicide Awareness and Assessment, 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Understanding Suicide Risk, 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Suicide Risk Assessment, 56\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Putting It All Together: Tool for Assessment of Suicide Risk (TASR), 88\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Special Topics in Understanding and Evaluating Suicide Risk, 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Suicide Prevention, 110\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Suicide Intervention, 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Post-suicide Intervention: Caring for Survivors, 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Care for the Carer: Death of a Patient by Suicide, 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Clinical Vignettes for Group or Individual Study, 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A Tool for Assessment of Suicide Risk (TASR), 140\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B 6-ITEM Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale: KADS, 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix C My Safety Plan, 144\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex, 147\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52475066777880,"sku":"9780470978566","price":31.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470978566.jpg?v=1785803990","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/suicide-risk-management-a-manual-for-health-professionals-paperback-softback-9780470978566","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
