Description
Working in the Dark explores the complex state of mind that can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. Based on the authors' extensive work with individuals who have attempted suicide, the book delves into the emotional impact on those affected and offers practical advice on how to support them.
The authors examine key concepts such as suicide fantasy and pre-suicidal states, using real-life case studies and reflections from those in recovery to illustrate the pre-suicide state of mind. This insight is essential for professionals working with individuals who have attempted suicide or are at risk.
Working in the Dark is a valuable resource for social workers, probation officers, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, and doctors who need to understand and respond to individuals in crisis. The book provides a unique understanding of the pre-suicide state of mind, essential for those working in healthcare and social care.
