A comprehensive psychological assessment of suicidal adolescent patients provides a wealth of data that is useful in both the assessment of suicidal risk and generating appropriate treatment strategies. In this chapter are described the “system clustors” that present a picture of adolescents at high risk for suicide. A case study, including a psychological report, serves as an illustration.
