When acute stressors prompt neurotic patients to contemplate suicide, these patients are being tempted, or driven, to act by one or more of 12 types of beliefs or assumptions. Regardless of the intensity of psychic pain, which may vary, these 12 pathological beliefs are the prompters of suicidal acts. Suicidal acts can be avoided when therapists engage patients in 12 types of interventions that neutralize the 12 pathological beliefs.

Learning Objectives: After attending this presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe personal fears in the face of the suicidal patient’s threats to act.
– Identify methods of establishing an agreement that the locus of responsibility to stay alive rests solely with the patient.
– Discuss 12 types of interventions, according to the therapist’s own language and style, commensurate with the suicidal patient’s 12 types of pathological beliefs.
