1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: How to conduct a proper suicide evaluation, February 3, 2003 Reviewer: A readerDr. Tom White offers a persuasive view in how to properly evaluate suicide risk by using a systematic approach. As a former colleague of mine, I expected Dr. White to write an excellent book on this topic; because, as part of his job, before he retired, he reconstructed what led up to inmate suicides in the North Central Region for the U.S. Department of Justice/Federal Bureau of Prisons. Therefore, he, more than most, was able to see what was missed by the evaluating clinician and other staff. His book was interesting, well-written, and useful. It serves to remind the evaluating clinican to cover all the bases when conducting a suicide assessment.
Book Description
Dr. White, with over 20 years of experience in risk assess- ment, presents his revolutionary method for conducting risk assessments that will result in accurate, sensitive, effec- tive, and legally defensible assessments.
