Understanding Suicide: A Comprehensive Guide to Causes, Symptoms, and Intervention (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798253647677)

Every forty seconds, someone in the world dies by suicide. Behind each statistic is a person-a son, a daughter, a friend, a neighbor-and behind each person is a circle of survivors left to navigate a grief unlike any other. Despite advances in research and treatment, the knowledge that could save lives remains locked in academic journals, out of reach for the people who need it most.

Understanding Suicide: A Comprehensive Guide to Causes, Symptoms, and Intervention changes that. Written by a pastor who has spent years walking alongside individuals and families in their darkest moments, this book brings together the best of what we know about suicide and its prevention in a single volume that is both comprehensive and accessible, rigorous and compassionate.
