Description - Half in Love with Death: Managing the Chronically Suicidal Patient by Joel Paris
- This book deals with an important and not uncommon clinical problem for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals that is stressful for those who treat these patients.
- Yet there has been little formal research on this problem, and the clinical literature is also limited. There have been only a few comprehensive articles on chronic suicidality and there are hardly any recent books.
- This book will develop a broad biopsychosocial perspective on chronic suicidality that provides a framework for understanding the sources of chronic suicidality, tolerating it while working on recovery, and managing cases that promotes autonomy and psychosocial functioning.
- The book will offer guidelines for the management of these patients that protect therapy and that avoid less helpful interventions such as repeated hospitalization and polypharmacy.
