Abstract

This chapter will be oriented toward the problem faced by the clinician in attempting to prevent suicide in patients under treatment. It will focus on the clinician's difficult task of assessing suicide potential and initiating interventions to prevent suicide in patients at high risk. Specifically, the state of the art in identifying the suicidal patient will be reviewed, and various interventions available to the clinician will be discussed.
