Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Preventing Suicide Attempts

I learned a lot from reading this book. From emergency and inpatient settings to the military environment and beyond, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Preventing Suicide Attempts gets down to the nitty gritty of working with people at significant risk of suicide. Firmly based in research, yet clinically rich, this book is a veritable Swiss Army knife of suicide prevention manuals. Essential reading for all mental health clinicians, regardless of therapeutic orientation. Thomas E. Ellis, PsyD, ABPP, director of psychology at the Menninger Clinic and professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at the Baylor College of Medicine This landmark text is a superb contribution to clinical suicidology. Expertly edited, it includes chapters from an all-star lineup of the field's top authorities on CBT for suicide and deftly covers a range of views on cognitive-behavioral treatments for suicidal risk across a variety of clinical settings. It's an indispensable book on a proven approach for effectively treating suicidal risk, and it will undoubtedly help save lives. David A. Jobes, PhD, ABPP, professor of psychology and associate director of clinical training at the Catholic University of America, Washington DC There is an unfortunate shortage of evidence-based interventions and guidance for those working with patients at risk of suicide. This book is both practical and extremely helpful. Dr. Bryan and his colleagues are to be commended for meeting the needs of clinicians in multiple treatment settings. Timothy W. Lineberry, MD, former board chair of the American Association of Suicidology and former medical director of the Mayo Clinic Psychiatric Hospital
