Suicide Prevention: A Holistic Approach contains the  selected and edited papers that were presented during the congress  Suicide, Disease, Disadvantage, A Holistic Approach, organized by the  International Association for Suicide Prevention, which was held in  June 1995, in Venice.    Suicide prevention is still sadly neglected by governments and public  health authorities, despite the fact that in several Western countries  suicide has become the primary cause of death among younger age  groups. The selected papers express the need for a holistic viewpoint  in suicide management. The subjects range from parasuicide to the role  of the media, from the special type of psychotherapeutic approach  required to the most recent guidelines in pharmacological treatment,  from a homage to the memory of Erwin Ringel to the presentation of  specific national prevention schemes.    The book will be of interest to public health workers, doctors,  psychologists and social workers, as well as voluntary staff and their  organizations, and to all those who make suicide prevention one of  their primary interests.
