In his theory of suicidal behavior, Dr. Thomas Joiner, proposes three
factors that mark those most at risk of death: the feeling of being a
burden on loved ones; the sense of isolation; and the learned ability
to hurt oneself. He tests the theory against diverse facts taken from
clinical anecdotes, history, literature, popular culture,
anthropology, epidemiology, genetics, and neurobiology— and facts
about suicide rates among diverse groups.
This training includes seven learning objectives to increase
participants knowledge of:
* Approaches to suicide risk assessment
* Developments in the treatment of suicidal behavior
* Epidemiology and risk factors for death by suicide
* New theory of suicidal behavior
* Anecdotal, clinical, and scientific evidence that evaluates theory
of suicidal behavior
* Developments in suicide prevention
* Understand the experience of people who are bereaved by suicide
