- Summary:
- "In this video, we first watch Victor Yalom interview Dr. Rona Hu, Medical Director of the Acute Inpatient Unit at Stanford. Her expertise in Asian-American mental health issues guides her in culturally-sensitive methods of assessment and early intervention. She instructs us how to factor Asian beliefs around collectivism, shame and saving face into our assessment of a suicidal client within the family context. Then Sommers-Flanagan interviews Murray Pierce, a minority student advisor at the University of Montana and juvenile probation officer. Mr. Pierce identifies some of the unique challenges of engaging and supporting minority youth and their families in the suicide assessment and early intervention process. In the next brief segment. Sommers-Flanagan works with Connie, a middle-aged white woman and suicide teacher-educator, whose husband committed suicide four years before. While the emotional intensity around suicide still challenges Connie, Sommers-Flanagan offers useful suggestions and strategies to help her cope with lingering feelings of pain and guilt, including self-forgiveness. In the final, and perhaps most compelling of all the demonstrations, Sommers-Flanagan compassionately zeroes in on suicide with Chase, a 35-year-old white gay male whose distress is unbearable and who is imminently suicidal. Socially isolated, hopeless, in acute emotional pain, and with access to lethal means, Chase finally yet reluctantly agrees to collaborating with Sommers-Flanagan on a plan that begins with hospitalization. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for assessing and treating the suicidal client. Each and every one challenges us with their symptoms and stories as we seemingly race against the clock to understand and help. Sommers-Flanagan has spent his career learning from, teaching about and treating clients along the broad spectrum of suicidality. Through these incisive clinical demonstrations and enlightening interviews, he will help you hone your knowledge and clinical sensitivity so that you may effectively intervene at the intersection of suicidality and client diversity. By watching this interview, you will: 1. Describe the full range of interventions in suicide from assessment through hospitalization. 2. Articulate the challenges to effectively assessing minority and LGBT clients. 3. Explain how Asian values and beliefs impact suicide assessment and treatment." Supplied by publisher
