{"product_id":"book-gbsh","title":"Rethinking Suicide","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn examination of how suicide prevention efforts largely fail due to the mistaken assumption that greater mental health awareness is the key to saving lives.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Suicide\u003c\/i\u003e is a critical examination of what we think we know about suicide, with particular focus on the assumed role of mental illness. Craig J. Bryan, a leading expert on suicide prevention, argues that most prevention efforts have failed because they disproportionately emphasize mental health-focused solutions such as access to treatment and crisis services. Instead of classifying suicide as a mental health issue, careful analysis of research findings suggest it should instead be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors—from personal decision-making styles, to the availability of lethal means, to financial uncertainty. As such suicide rates will not be curtailed by conventional solution-oriented thinking; rather, we need process-based thinking that may, in some cases, defy or contradict many of our long-held assumptions about suicide. \u003ci\u003eRethinking Suicide\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves the author's firsthand experiences with explanations of scientific findings to reveal the limitations of widely-used practices and to introduce new perspectives that may trigger a paradigm shift in how we understand and prevent suicide.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49357664616752,"sku":"BDgbsh","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49357664682288,"sku":"ZEgbsh","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49357664747824,"sku":"ZMgbsh","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/gbsh-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770938263","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gbsh","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
