Description:
Over the course of its two previous editions, The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Suicide Risk Assessment and Management has built a well-deserved reputation for thorough and authoritative coverage of this critically important topic. Now under fresh leadership, the third edition represents the new editors' cutting-edge vision while preserving the down-to- earth, accessible, and trustworthy style that has made the book a staple. More than two-thirds of the contributors are new to this edition and offer up-to-date perspectives on assessment and management of suicide risk in a reorganized and easy-to-use volume. In addition to core topics, such as understanding suicide risk in relation to major mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance use, this revised edition includes chapters on physician-assisted dying, suicide and social media, suicide on college campuses, and other new and noteworthy content. The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Suicide Risk Assessment and Management will engage and inform a wide variety of readers-from clinical psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and trainees to primary care, internal medicine, and family practice physicians-with its expanded, up-to-the-minute, and comprehensive coverage.
