Chiles, M.D. and Kirk D. Strohsahl, Ph.D., “...challenge oneof the chief underlying assumptions of traditional approaches to suicide assessment and treat-ment – that suicidal behavior can be predicted and controlled. In its place, they propose a newconceptualization of suicidality – as learned, reinforced problem-solving behaviors that an indi-vidual uses when all other options seem to have failed... The assumption is that a patient's sui-cidal behavior represents his or her best attempt at that moment in time to deal with life’sdifficulties. The clinician’s initial task is therefore not to judge or criticize but rather to... help thepatient begin to explore other ways of dealing with the overwhelming troubles. Efforts to reducesuicidal risk are accomplished by techniques that maximize individual autonomy and encouragepositive behaviors...”New Features in Science DirectScience Direct has recently been upgraded.
