TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Client receptiveness to the routine assessment of past suicide attempts JO - Professional psychology: research and practice A1 - Hahn, W.K. A1 - Marks, L.I. SP - 592 EP - 594 VL - 27 IS - 6 N2 - Approximately 14% of male and 22% of female college students participating in individual therapy reported having had a suicide attempt at some point in their lives, and 50% of the individuals with a history of suicide attempt discussed the attempt during the intake interview. Approximately 77% of all clients were receptive to the routine evaluation of past suicide attempts, whereas approximately 20% were undecided. Only 3% of all respondents reported it was not a good idea to assess past suicide attempts routinely. The authors recommend including the routine assessment of suicide risk factors into intake protocols.
