_Alternatives to Suicide: Beyond Risk and Toward a Life Worth Living_
demonstrates how fostering resilience and a desire for life can
broaden and advance an understanding of suicide. The book summarizes
the existing literature and outlines a new focus on the dynamic
interplay of risk and resilience that leads to a life-focus approach
to suicide prevention. It calls for a treatment approach that enhances
the opportunity to collaboratively engage clients in discussion about
their lives. Providing a new perspective on how to approach suicide
prevention, the book also lays out key theories on resilience and the
interplay of risk and protective factors.
Finally, the book outlines how emerging technologies and advances in
data-analytic sophistication using real-time monitoring of suicide
dynamics are ushering the field of suicide research and prevention
into a new and exciting era.
