"There are now many books and countless articles pertaining to suicide prevention. Nevertheless, there is no text quite like this one, which covers the field in all its dimensions, nuances, and complexities....The next time I teach my Seminar on Suicide course, this book will be the text around which I will organize the class, because there is no better collection of suicide prevention knowledge in the literature....A gift to the field."--from the Foreword by David A. Jobes, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology, The Catholic University of America "A giant of suicidology, Maris offers us a uniquely thorough appraisal of one of the most complex of human tragedies. This remarkable authored volume has the special advantage of providing a harmonious synthesis of many years of research and clinical and forensic practice in suicidology at the highest professional levels. Wise and detailed examinations of famous case histories make this book a 'must have' for those interested in deepening their knowledge of the suicide enigma. Clinicians and students alike will treasure it."--Diego de Leo, PhD, MD, DSc, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention, Griffith University, Australia "This text provides a much-needed comprehensive summary and balanced critique of the current state of the field of suicidology. Strengths include the interdisciplinary lens, engaging case examples, and attention to special topics like suicide in prisons and military settings; culture and art; religious and ethical aspects; and murder-suicide. The content is current, thought provoking, and approachable for multiple audiences, from advanced undergraduates to those who have been working in suicidology for a long time. Instructors will appreciate the text's flexibility; they can arrange the presentation of topics in a way that best fits their style and course plan. Students using the text in a course will end up knowing more about suicide and prevention than many mental health professionals currently working."--Jennifer J. Muehlenkamp, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire "Provides a complete overview of the range of factors--from neurobiology to culture--that 21st-century students of suicidology need to understand. Maris's writing style differentiates the volume from edited texts; he conveys even the most technical material in an accessible manner and combines comprehensible summaries of empirical studies with wisdom derived from a lifetime of work in the field, along with interesting quotations from literature. Notable features of the volume include compelling case studies that cover the gamut of reasons why a person might commit suicide; an excellent overview for students of psychiatric medications used to treat disorders that often underlie suicide, such as depression; presentation of the most well-known theories of suicide; and an examination of commonalities across individual suicides. This volume can effectively serve as the primary textbook for an advanced undergraduate- or graduate-level course."--Anthony Spirito, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Alpert Medical School of Brown University, "There are now many books and countless articles pertaining to suicide prevention.
