Review of Suicidology, 2000

Summary: Excellent book on Clinical Suicidology
Review: Excellent book on Clinical Suicidology. It reflects the latest research findings in Clinical Suicidology, and reviews some of the research studies available.

For non professionals this book could be interesting but boring as the authors of the different chapters make a complete and systematic review of some of the research studies, with lots of statistical data and their analyzes, and their perspective and findings on different scientific approaches to suicidal behavior.

For all medical staff, it should be very useful to read and demystify some of the concepts that are generally associated with the use of medical terminology regarded to suicidal behavior and many other subjects that pertain to this behavior.

For the mental health professional, probably it will be a very useful resource for further clinical research and practice. The articles are scientifically very well presented and approached giving the reader a new vision on the evolution that has come under Clinical Suicidology and the much more that has to be done.

For those who haven't read the Review of Suicidology 1997, I would strongly advise to do it, because of its great usefulness and complements the 2000 edition.
