- Summary:
- The 19 papers in this collection analyze data on national suicide trends and review literature on the causes and treatment of suicide in the U.S. The academic contributors explore gender and racial differences in suicidal behavior among college students, family history factors, the link with alcohol involvement, and environmental stressors. Later chapters describe suicide assessment techniques, cognitive behavior therapy models, the CAMS approach to clinical intervention, prevention program design, and liability rulings. Lamis is a doctoral student at the University of South Carolina and Lester is a psychology professor at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.
