Abstract
This chapter looks into the detailed session outline of CLASP. The step-by-step process of CLASP includes the establishment of the patient’s Life Plan document, family meetings with the patient and their significant other, and follow-up phone contacts. Moreover, sessions could be conducted during an inpatient stay depending on the duration of hospitalization. The establishment of a collaborative and trusting relationship is vital for a successful therapeutic contact. It is also important to have a patient’s brief psychiatric and suicide history and current level of suicidal risk. The second session of CLASP tackles values discussion and formulation of treatment goals. The chapter also highlights the importance of significant others’ participation and telephone sessions in the process.
