Previous Edition (1 ed.)

Abstract

The Oxford Textbook of Suicidology and Suicide Prevention is a comprehensive resource covering all aspects of suicidal behaviour and suicide prevention from a number of different perspectives, including its underlying religious and cultural factors; its political, social and economic causes; its psychiatric and somatic determinants; and its public health impacts. The new edition includes several new clinically focussed chapters devoted to major psychiatric disorders and their relation to suicide, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance abuse, psychosis/schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and personality disorders. It also includes a fully updated section on psychometric scales used for measuring suicidal behaviour and instruments used in suicide preventative interventions as well as descriptions of suicide preventive methods in schools as suicide is the second leading, and in some countries first, cause of death for young people.
