Sinossi

Suicide is the cause of death for nearly one million people per year. Attempts at suicide, estimated to be ten times more frequent than completed suicide, often cause permanent impairment and disability. Suicide can stigmatise families across generations. The loss of life caused by suicide presents a significant loss for the communities in which it occurs -- socially, economically and by blocking progress towards the creation of a civic society. The availability of an assembly of carefully and critically presented facts in the form of chapters responding to specific problems can help in the education of health professionals and provide them with data that they can use in developing proposals for action. This book draws attention to methods of work that have been tried elsewhere and found useful.
