'Andrew Reeves has produced a timely and challenging book that maintains a vital
balance between scholarship, original research, clinical insight, practical
application and an evident compassion for those in such need' - European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling
A fantasic look at counselling thiose who are suicidal, a really interestig book well written and informative on a very difficult area.
The chapter on understanding suicide was by far the most important and perhaps should have been at the front of the book. Nevertheless, an excellent book with insightful information
A clear insight into the subject. A great book
Brilliant book. Covers essential issues in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. Read this and be better prepared should a client develop suicidal ideation.
This is a useful book for humanistic psychotherapists who engage with social constructs, public health policy, public and voluntary services, and the traumas, needs and choices of their clients. It raises critical questions and does not reach for quick answers to complex dilemmas.
A useful text for trainees who have a specific interest in this area. The book was not as useful for basic training as others I have come across.
Very clear and structured text book. Valuable and thought provoking, Andrew Reeves captures the essence of some of the dilemmas around open discussions with clients.
This book proves to be a good resource to critically evaluate work with clients who are often invisible or misunderstood.
A thought provoking text on this complex subject. Important reading for all trainee counsellors.
Interesting and very practical
Together with the Tightropes DVD this is an excellent resource on understanding and working with suicidal clients.
this is a must for all trainee counsellors
the recommended book for the topic on the MSc course. very comprehensive thought provoking and readable
Will be used as a supplemental text at Keystone College, the other college I teach at.
Counselling suicidal clients can be an exhausting and emotionally demanding process; this publication supports the practitioner to work safely, ethically and compassionately.
A good book for staff to access but not suitable for students
An excellent text which addresses the issues associated with suicidal clients in an accessible way
This is an excellent book, very sensitively written. The overall structure is well balanced. It contains a lot of very helpful teaching material that can be utilised in the Mental Health & recovery Module
This is an excellent book, and one I'll be using on several modules. It guides the reader clearly through the various stages of working with suicidal clients, outlining some of the main challenges and difficulties. A very useful resource for trainees and experienced clinicians alike
This is an interesting, informed text that includes guidance relevant to working with a variety of client groups. We will be adding this to our course recommended reading list for this reason.
