TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Response to Commentaries on "On Chronic Suicidality" by Michael A. Hoge and Robert A. King JO - Psychiatry interpersonal and biological processes A1 - Lewin, R.A. SP - 26 EP - 27 VL - 55 IS - 1 N2 - Both These Commentaries deserve triple-A rating: apt, admirable, and ambitious. Let me characterize my own intention in writing as I did about the chronically suicidal personality-disordered patient. My goal was to smuggle some news out from the dark and stormy planets on which treatments of these patients take place. I wanted to help in conceptualizing problems in the clinical guidance systems a beleaguered practitioner might use in these encounters where the relevant n equal one, that is, the particular patient being treated at the particular time by the particular therapist. © 1992 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
