Concept information
Preferred term
suicide counseling and prevention
Definition
- The term suicide encompasses both behaviors in which people intentionally cause their own deaths (complete suicide or fatal suicide) and those behaviors where the person survives the action (attempted suicide, parasuicide, or deliberate selfharm). Suicidal behavior, more than many other behaviors, often creates severe anxiety in those professionals who encounter and endeavor to help such individuals because of the fear that the smallest misstep may result in their clients' deaths.
