Harm Potential Profile: Identifying Patients at Risk for Harming Themselves or Others (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732975521)

Harm Potential Profile is an adjunct to the therapeutic process and is designed to help psychiatrists, other physicians and licensed mental health professionals to identify persons who are thinking of killing themselves, persons who are thinking of killing family members or others along with themselves, and potential terrorists who are thinking of killing others. The Harm Potential Profile provides an insight into the patient's subconscious mind and uncovers problem areas beyond the patient's awareness. The profile consists of the Ruth Fry Symbolic Profile and the "Draw a Person" and "Draw a Tree" pages. Harm Potential Profile was developed after years of study of art therapy, analytical psychology, and psychoanalysis.
