Psychosocial treatments of suicidal behaviors: A practice‐friendly review
Abstract
Worldwide, almost a million people die by suicide each year. Intentional, nonfatal, self‐inflicted injury, including both suicide attempts and acts without suicide intent, also has very high prevalence. This article provides a practice‐friendly review of controlled studies of psychosocial treatments aiming to prevent suicide, attempted suicide, and nonsuicidal self‐inflicted injuries. Despite relatively small sample sizes for a low‐base‐rate outcome such as self‐inflicted injury, several psychotherapies have been found effective, including cognitive therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, problem‐solving therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy, as well as outreach interventions, such as sending caring letters. The clinical implications of the review are discussed with the goal of translating the science to service—particularly the importance of outreach and treatment of non‐compliance, the assessment and management of suicide risk, and competency in effective psychotherapies. These are critical steps for clinical psychology and psychotherapists to take in their role in suicide prevention. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol: In Session 62: 161–170, 2006.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
