Description
Approximately one million people worldwide commit suicide each year, and at least ten times as many attempt suicide. A considerable number of these people are in contact with members of the healthcare sector, and encounters with suicidal individuals form a common part of the everyday work of many healthcare professionals. Suicide: An unnecessary death examines the pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and psychosocial measures adopted by psychiatrists, GPs, and other health-care staff, and emphasizes the need for a clearer psychodynamic understanding of the self if patients are to be successfully recognized, diagnosed, and treated.
Reviews
Review “The primary target audience is orthopedic surgeons, but it will also be a valuable read for physician assistants or advanced practice nurses who work with orthopedic surgeons, It would also be a beneficial read for primary care doctors who provide presurgical clearance or inpatient hospitalist care for orthopedic patients. … It is a valuable book that should be added to every orthopedic surgeon’s personal library.” (Mark R Hutchinson, Doody’s Book Reviews, June 26, 2020)
