David Knesper, M.D.
"Every suicide has its own story.
When risk is highest, that is the time patients
are most secretive about their true intentions.
The clinician's job is to identify situations
when patients are most likely to be developing
a suicide story and to use specific techniques
to get the patient to reveal to them the
contents of every chapter. Of course, once
the story is known, appropriate interventions
must be administered to prevent the patient
from ever writing the last chapter."
