Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This book is based on a three year qualitative
study (a study that was funded by the United Kingdom Department of Health) that investigated how psychiatric nurses provided care for
suicidal people. Drawing on service user data, this book contains and explains an evidence-based (empirically induced) theory of how
to care for suicidal people. Far from being an esoteric theory with no clinical applicability, the findings captured in this book are
grounded in the reality of day-to-day practice. Furthermore, in addition to tracing the role of nurses in caring for suicidal people,
the authors use their findings to launch into formal level issues regarding future research, education and policy; as well as focusing
on the ethical issues involved in care of the suicidal person. The authors close by shifting the focus on 'suicide survivors' and with
the help of contributing aithors. As the eminent suicidology scholars who have generously provided their Forewords note - this is a must-read
book for anyone involved in the care of the suicidal person.
