Treatment of Suicidal People

J Clin Psychiatry 1996;57(11):551-552

Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

Treatment of Suicidal People, containing the contributions from 21 different individuals, including the editors, is written as a handbook for physicians and mental health professionals. It includes the clinical, ethical, legal, and pharmacologic aspects of suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. The greatest amount of material deals with intervention.

From the Editors

New Series The JCP Podcast A third-trimester blood test may identify who is at high risk for postpartum depression before symptoms start, opening the door to prevention instead of waiting for a crisis. The episode also unpacks why zuranolone and brexanolone are not “just benzodiazepines” — and why that mechanistic difference matters clinically.
