Abstract
Social problem-solving therapy is based on research indicating that suicidal individuals have deficits in problem-solving skills in general and in interpersonal problemsolving skills, in particular. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of social problem-solving therapy compared to supportive therapy for treating suicidal older adolescents. The results indicated that problem-solving therapy was more effective than supportive therapy for reducing depression, hopelessness, and loneliness at three month follow-up, but not significantly better at reducing suicidal ideations. This study provides an example of systematic treatment research with suicidal individuals.
