I Don't Want to Die is for anyone who works in the field of mental health or seeks help for a vulnerable loved one who may be showing suicidal tendencies.

With decades of clinical experience and research behind it, this new look at suicide prevention takes a comprehensive approach to the assessment of suicide risk and presents effective approaches to intervention and prevention.

Starting with an overview of depression and its effects, I Don't Want to Die discusses why and how someone chooses suicide as a "way out" of their problems. A thorough assessment tool and strategies for intervening in a suicidal crisis are described in a clear, easy-to-follow style.

The need for suicide education in schools and the role of the media are also discussed. I Don't Want to Die also examines the ethical issues often faced by those who work in the field of mental health and poses the question for the practitioner as to the "right" of an individual to commit suicide.

I Don't Want to Die is written in a user-friendly style for professionals and laypersons, and it offers a unique approach that focuses on both content and process when assessing risk.
