Publisher's Synopsis
Suicidal Patterns in Children, Adolescents, and Youth is a straightforward companion for clinicians who work with young people in crisis. It offers a clear, developmentally informed way to think about suicide risk-not just as a checklist of red flags, but as a pattern that often makes sense in context. Through practical chapters on formulation, screening, intervention, and clinical engagement, this book helps providers navigate difficult moments with structure and care. It's written for those who sit with uncertainty every day and still want to understand more deeply.
"A suicidal thought in a 9-year-old is not the same as one in a 19-year-old-but both can be deadly."
