Youth Suicide Risk: Evaluation and Crisis Intervention
Journal Title: Psilogos - Year 2011, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Suicide attempts and suicidal behaviors represent a complex problem, with high prevalence in adolescence. The management of youth suicidal behavior may occur in diverse contexts of child and adolescent psychiatric activity, not only in the emergency room, but also in liaison work and ambulatory consultation. In suicidal crisis intervention it ́s fundamental to involve the youth and the family as this represents a crucial moment for clinical assessment and treatment compliance. This review on child and adolescent suicidal behavior focuses on characterizing and understanding the developmental features of these behaviors, risk and protection factors and it offers orientations about assessment and acute management of children and adolescents who present with suicidal behavior.
