Book Review-Suicide-Related Behaviour: Understanding, Caring and Therapeutic Responses, by C McLaughlin

The reviewer notes the case vignettes in the first part of this book are “lively, realistic and well-worth referring to for teaching purposes.”. However, the second part of the book is said to be “less enjoyable, but also less authoritative” with factual inaccuracies noted in the discussion of psychoanalytic theory & psychiatric perspectives.
