Suicide

This new edition of A Special Scar looks in detail at the stigma surrounding suicide and offers practical help for survivors, relatives and friends of people who have taken their own life. Incorporating the latest research findings, and new material on counselling and groupwork with survivors of suicide, it will continue to be an invaluable resource for survivors as well as for all those in contact with them, including policy and coroner's officers, bereavement services, self-help organisations, mental health professionals, social workers, GPs, counsellors and psychotherapists.
