abstract="Scope of review: The paper reports a meta-review of 15 previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the literature concerning the outcome of counselling and psychotherapy with people at risk of suicide; a meta-analysis of 67 outcome studies in this area; and a narrative review of 17 studies of the therapeutic process. Publication time span: The literature reviewed was published between 1981 and 2008. Publication origin: The majority of the literature reviewed was by authors from the USA or the UK, but there were also authors from other European countries, Australia, Canada, India, and Sri Lanka. <br><br>FINDINGS: There is evidence of the effectiveness of dialectical behaviour therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and problem solving therapy, but also for other forms of therapy. Therapist and client variables, as well as the therapeutic relationship, appear to be related to treatment outcome. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: People at risk of suicide should have access to psychological interventions, including, but not necessarily limited to, those within the cognitive-behavioural spectrum. Therapies for which there have been promising findings, but which are under-researched, should be a research priority. © 2013 Copyright British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
