Rezensionen

"Imagine a new disease, sudden and violent in manifestation, with no accepted treatment, and sometimes ending in death. To write about something like this requires care, sensitivity, and courage. We have the disease-it is now called suicidality-and Joel Paris in this new edition is its worthy chronicler. He shirks nothing, embraces all the evidence, and his writing is a joy to read."

Peter Tyrer, professor of psychiatry, Imperial College, London, UK

"Chronic suicidal ideation is a challenging and often misunderstood problem. This authoritative text by a leading expert provides the understanding needed for effective management. The author's pragmatic approach makes this book an invaluable resource for clinicians, those suffering from the condition, and those seeking to support them."

W. John Livesley, professor emeritus of psychiatry, University of British Columbia
