%X Working with suicidal patients requires that the therapist not be afraid of threats or gestures. The therapeutic partnership requires the patient to stay alive until the next session. Any suicidal gesture will trigger the end of this treatment on the grounds that the patient has shown the treatment was not good enough. Twelve dangerous, neurotic beliefs driving suicidal actions are examined in concert with twelve interventions aimed at dismantling their power over the patient.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
