This work deals predominantly with two areas of suicide. The first is risk detection, ie, the concern and prediction that someone may be contemplating suicide in the near or distant future. The second concerns the actions that can be taken by caregivers. "...quality of writing, range of coverage, depth and applicability of contents - the qualities one looks for in a book in an established field. What is impressive about this volume is its practicality. It is written by practitioners, addressed to caregivers, and presented in an understandable language.... this book belongs on every suicidologists desk." -- Edwin S. Shneidman
