Suicide Intervention by Nurses

This book, the first to focus specifically on the role of nurses in suicide prevention, offers suggestions for reorganizing, managing and treating suicidal patients. Topics include the warning signs of suicide, a scale for assessing suicidal risk, innovative treatment approaches, suicidal colleagues, legal issues, and coping when suicide has occurred. Illustrative case histories are used throughout the book. "Although numerous studies have indicated that about 75 percent of all suicidal people will visit a physician shortly before killing themselves, many doctors have been unable or unwilling to identify and respond effectively to their suicidal patients .... Because physicians have not been able to deal adequately with the suicidal population, the rationale for nurses taking action is apparent. If ths book enables nurses to more effectively recognize an incipient suicidal crisis, and to respond appropriately to it, then it will have served its purpose." - from the Preface --- from book's back cover
