The impact of suicide

A prestigious group of internationally known contributors, including Robert Kastenbaum, Alan Berman, and David Lester, among others, take an incisive look at suicide's effects on family, friends, and professionals. Research data are supplemented by rich clinical experience on issues such as bereavement counseling, repeated suicidal behavior, and the impact of suicide on therapists and caregivers, a topic that has almost never been discussed in the literature. This volume is a useful resource for researchers, clinicians, and other mental health professionals, including family therapists, grief counselors, and clinical social workers.
