It provides an analysis of current research on suicide, exploring possible 'causes' and how best to intervene, and makes the case for a science based practice 'art'.  International rates of suicide are examined as the author looks at suicide in a cross-cultural context showing how it is differently understood in different ethnic groups, reflecting various degrees of stigma.  He argues for greater recognition of these key differences between cultures and ethnic groups, and shows how important they can be to our understanding and intervention.  Suicide - The Ultimate Rejection? explores the concepts of prediction and prevention and asks how the current health and community services might work to reduce the number of suicides in line with the targets set by the government's Health of the Nation.  Different approaches to intervention and treatment are considered, with emphasis on those which research has shown to be the most promising.  Special attention is given to the families of the victim, and in the final pages a wider view of suicide which includes euthanasia is explored. Using new research, Colin Pritchard examines the practical and moral issues raised by euthanasia.  Suicide will be of interest to students of social work, psychiatric nursing, health visiting and medicine, as well as health professionals and counsellors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632493797649,"sku":"GOR003655067","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49864026456337,"sku":"GOR002713106","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335190324.jpg?v=1762336800"},{"product_id":"lives-of-the-modern-poets-book-colin-pritchard-9780195026900","title":"Lives of the Modern Poets","description":"A classic study of nine modern poets by a major critic and biographer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51320983421201,"sku":"CIN019502690XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/019502690X.jpg?v=1751069843"},{"product_id":"mental-health-social-work-book-colin-pritchard-9780415319010","title":"Mental Health Social Work","description":"In Mental Health Social Work, Colin Pritchard draws on his many years of experience in research, teaching and practice in order to explore key issues for social workers who want to work in the mental health field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521701605649,"sku":"NLS9780415319010","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53034965598481,"sku":"NIN9780415319010","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415319010.jpg?v=1760572155"},{"product_id":"the-mist-of-yesterday-poems-of-hope-and-comfort-in-a-troubled-world-book-colin-pritchard-9798872477679","title":"The Mist of Yesterday: Poems of Hope and Comfort in a Troubled World","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52602725269777,"sku":"GOR014559111","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53341853810961,"sku":"GOR014861766","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798872477679.jpg?v=1761158256"},{"product_id":"social-work-book-colin-pritchard-9781032730479","title":"Social Work","description":"First published in 1978, Social Work is concerned with relating social methods and objectives to political ideology. Social work grew out of the fertile tradition of mainstream Liberal radicalism in the nineteenth century, and to appreciate its largely implicit contemporary value framework it is essential to analyse the ideologies of ‘Conservatism’ and ‘social democracy’ which have dominated Britain in the twentieth century. The links between social work methods and aspirations and political ideology are thus explored in some detail. A key argument which closely involves social work relates to the potential for social change within the existing institutional structures. The question of ‘Legitimation’ is thoroughly examined in this context from all viewpoints, and the conclusions for social work development are discussed. This book will be of interest to students of social work, sociology and political science.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52784348627217,"sku":"NGR9781032730479","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53021782049041,"sku":"NLS9781032730479","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032730479.jpg?v=1766140971"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-colin-pritchard.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
