| Review |
"Without doubt, there is no greater problem facing mental health practitioners than suicide-related behaviour. Currently, the data indicates that in some areas suicide is increasing. Alongside this, the incidence of self-harm, which has always been high, does not seem to be abating. Some professionals argue that attempted suicide and self-harm are both the same entity. In this book, it is put forward that they are two sides of the same coin and this coin is called suicide-related behaviour. This book makes sense of suicide-related behaviour in terms of understanding its aetiology." |
