The most up-to-date and complete discussion of suicide among elderly people, this pioneering book takes an in-depth look at how to recognize and respond to suicidal behavior in the age group that is the highest risk but least studied. The full gamut of treatment interventions is explored, from group, family and individual therapy to the careful use of drugs. Special attention is given to working with residents of long-term care facilities and assisting families of the suicidal elderly.
