Description

Written by a respected figure in the field of clinical interviewing, this practical manual offers busy front-line clinicians a rapid, thorough, and sensitive interviewing strategy to determine lethal risk: the Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (C.A.S.E.). The C.A.S.E. model, a unique and innovative approach to suicide assessment, was developed by Dr. Shea and has been heralded as "the single best suicide assessment strategy" by Thomas Ellis (a noted suicidologist). It is quick and efficient, qualities that make it particularly appropriate for time-pressed clinicians in the managed care environment. This book is written in a practical manner, and contains dozens of sample questions and assessment interview transcripts.
