Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Suicide risk is, arguably, the most challenging task in clinical practice. With inpatient and residential care options continuing to decline, it is critical for all practitioners to be skilled in suicide risk assessment and have, readily available, a range of clinical management and ongoing treatment options. The hope is that this Special Issue will provide empirically-informed options for clinical practice. This Issue will cover the full spectrum of clinical challenges in suicide risk assessment and treatment. In particular, advances in risk assessment, day-to-day clinical management, and innovations in psychotherapeutic treatment are of interest, along with approaches to informed consent for high-risk patients. The pace of advances in clinical practice over the past decade has been impressive. The goal of this Special Issue is to reflect the broad range of progress made in clinical science that directly impacts clinical care for suicidal patients.
