Reviews

Extremely well done and quite thorough. The authors do an excellent job in walking the reader through the different facets of the book as well as providing understandable explanations of why psychometric properties are needed in the area of adolescent suicidology. -- James J. Mazza, PH.D., University of Washington A must-read for any school psychologist, guidance counselor, or mental health clinician who comes in contact with adolescents on a regular basis. This is a comprehensive, scholarly, and up-to-date review of empirically based, suicide-related, self-report instruments that should be part of the armamentarium of tools for the assessment of at-risk adolescents. -- Morton M. Silverman, M.D., University of Chicago Provides a critical review of the extant literature and provides SPECIFIC recommendations in two areas: 1) how to go about the process of assessment with adolescents and 2) guidelines for developing new instruments in this area. A useful and clinically applicable text. -- M. David Rudd, Ph.D., ABPP, Texas Tech University, President, Texas Psychological Association, Past-President, American Association of Suicidology
