Críticas

"The editors of this laudable volume are to be highly commended for producing what will undoubtedly prove to be a landmark work."-- "Journal of Nervous and Mental Disorders" "Outstanding as a textbook for its rigor and comprehensiveness. This work needs to become an available reference for anyone involved in day-to-day suicide patient assessment and management."-- "JAMA" "The editors of this book selected the ambitious task of summarizing the existing knowledge about suicide at different stages of the life course. They have done a excellent job in assembling the existing literature on suicide including risk factors profiles of different age groups, the biochemical basis of suicide, genetic vulnerability, the role of substance abuse, and personality factors.... As a practicing mental health professional, this text should be part of one's library. Its clinical application of the literature makes it a unique contribution to the literature on suicide."-- "Clinical Gerontologist"
