Suicide: Treatment, Ethics & Risk Management

Course overview

This program provides an empirically driven theoretical model for understanding and managing suicidal thinking and behavior. Dr. Rudd's presentation cuts across both assessment and treatment and recognizes the time limitations in many clinical contexts. He reviews in detail Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a treatment that integrates core skill deficits and individual self-management. He also identifies competencies mental health professionals will need to manage these difficult cases.
