Recognizing that many
long-standing ideas about suicide have changed in recent years, this information-packed
book provides a much-needed appraisal of where we now stand in our understanding of
suicide and its prevention. Much more than a summing up, this book represents a singular
effort to put together the many pieces of the suicide mosaic using a multidisciplinary and
multinational approach to the issues involved.
"The
diverse topics covered and the overall quality of this
volume result in a stimulating book from which we can
learn a great deal." -- British
Journal of Psychiatry
