Adolescent Suicide

This new book addresses the problem of adolescent suicide by providing practicing clinicians with up-to-date, empirical findings on risk factors and on applied screening procedures for the assessment of risk, along with the most detailed discussion to date of treatment and intervention strategies. /// The clinical focus is framed by current epidemiological data and theory and by an overview of preventive efforts. This volume, by uniquely combining empirical data with extensive case illustrations, effectively targets the need of both researchers and clinicians.
