I Don't Want to Die is for anyone who works in the field of mental health or seeks help for a vulnerable loved one who may be showing suicidal tendencies. With decades of clinical experience and research behind it, this new look at suicide prevention takes a comprehensive approach to the assessment of suicide risk and presents effective approaches to intervention and prevention.
