The Suicidal Adolescent
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Published in 1995 for the Brent Adolescent Centre/Centre for Research into Adolescent Breakdown. As our knowledge of the change and turmoil of adolescence grows, so the number of issues on which psychotherapeutic techniques can shed light increases: this monograph focuses on one of the most urgent. It provides not only practical insights into dealing with suicidal or potentially suicidal adolescents - with an emphasis on prevention of the problem as early as possible - but also as a model of the way in which adolescents may find themselves becoming suicidal. Suicide attempts are rare in childhood; they are generally triggered after puberty by the adolescent's reaction to changes in her/his newly sexually mature body. It is the body which is perceived as the enemy, and sometimes the death of the enemy seems the only recourse. This monograph contain papers on this topic written by members of the staff of the Brent Adolescent Centre. It contains a wealth of case material illuminating many aspects of a harrowing problem. Paperback in good condition. The covers are clean, the binding is secure and the pages are clean. There is foxing to the page tops.
