Description

Because counselors are called upon to provide assistance to clients of all ages who are experiencing depression and preoccupation with suicidal ideation, researchers offer practitioners a life-span approach to counseling clients who have lost hope and need help to reestablish the will to live. After setting out the foundations, they explore some issues counselors must address, including risk and protective factors, assessing risk, ethical issues of assisted suicide, and the law. Then they look in turn at children, adolescents, adults, and survivors. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
