| Summary |
"This manual provides an empirically supported treatment approach for suicidality that is specifically tailored to today's managed care environment. The authors present an innovative framework to help the clinician rapidly determine and accomplish essential treatment goals, taking into account the severity, chronicity, and diagnostic complexity of the patient's symptoms. Carefully structured, yet flexible enough for the realities of day-to-day practice, the treatment model offers guidance on treating all aspects of suicidal behavior. It is fully compatible with current standards of care and uniquely designed for maximum effectiveness in the time-limited setting."--Jacket |
