Reviews

"This is a moving book by an enthusiastic clinician containing a number of helpful approaches to talking with suicidal patients, including 'watch your language', 'make every encounter therapeutic', 'spend as much time on the solution as the problem', and the philosophy of simply and respectfully honouring and valuing the positive aspects for the lives of these deeply troubled patients."- Paul Foster, Ph.D., Consultant, Psychiatrist, Inpatient/Home Treatment, Edgware Community Hospital
