The book looks at secondary suicide prevention (treatment for those thinking about suicide or who are actively suicidal) and is very practically focused. The first chapter reviews the prevention literature and discusses the healthier nation targets. The second chapter outlines solution focused brief therapy and presents the evidence base for this approach. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on risk assessment, management and medication. Chapter 5 presents an in-depth case study and the final chapter presents five shorter case studies. The appendices contain examples of exercises that can be given to clients.

The book is a goodaddition to the library of anyone interested in the broad topic ofcultural psychiatry. It reminds us that the importance of cultureand ethnicity is not only to be seen in the context of symptomexpression, or even in that of prevalence of disorders, but in theequally important context of how and why we often respond or failto respond to psychotropic drugs.
