The International Handbook of Suicide Prevention by Rory C O'connor

The International Handbook of Suicide Prevention by Rory C O'connor

The International Handbook of Suicide Prevention, 2nd Edition, presents a series of readings that consider the individual and societal factors that lead to suicide, it addresses ways these factors may be mitigated, and presents the most up-to-date evidence for effective suicide prevention approaches.

"This book is therefore of relevance to a wider range of users than those books which regard suicide purely as a mental health issue... Libraries that found the first edition useful are strongly recommended to upgrade to this one."
—Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, 31(6)
