Abstract:	This book is a graduate level text designed to teach the latest, evidence-based treatments for suicide. While it is intended primarily as a text, it may also be a useful reference for health care practitioners. The book discusses suicide identification, assessment, and treatment across various special populations. It also includes textbook features such as chapter objectives, vignettes, role play exercises, quizzes, case studies, and more. This book is designed to provide graduate students and health professionals with the essential knowledge in the following areas: Incidence and prevalence rates of suicidal behaviors in various demographic and diagnostic groups. Risk and identification of suicidal behaviors across the lifecycle (children/adolescents, adults, elderly). Risk and identification of suicidal behaviors in special populations (military, LGBT, and more). Impact and treatment of survivors of suicide.
