Résumé : Surpassing the first edition in terms of structure, scope, and hands-on utility, this new edition of "The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Suicide Assessment and Management" follows the natural sequence of events in evaluating and treating patients: assessment, major mental disorders, treatment, treatment settings, special populations, special topics, prevention, and the aftermath of suicide. The number of chapters has been increased approximately 20 per cent, from 28 to 34. In addition, 22 new chapter authors were recruited for the second edition, representing nearly half of the 50 authors from the first edition, to present more diverse perspectives. The result is a larger and more substantive text, one that addresses everything today's practitioner needs to know, from the basic biological mechanisms associated with suicide to the effects of Internet harassment. "The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Suicide Assessment and Management" is essential reading.
