Abstract
Cognitive Therapy for Suicidal Patients: Scientific and Clinical Applications is a major contribution to the literature on empirically based treatment of suicidal people. The book is a treatment manual for one of the few treatments that have been shown to reduce suicidal behavior. The authors, Amy Wenzel, Greg Brown, and Aaron Beck, describe in detail their treatment, which has been shown in a randomized control trial to reduce suicidal behavior. There are only a very few treatments, such as dialectical behavior therapy for chronically suicidal persons with borderline personality disorder, that have similarly been shown in randomized control trials to reduce suicide attempts (Linehan, 1993).
