Abstract

This article offers an alternative conceptualization from which a health care provider can consider and respond to client-based suicidal ideation and behavior. Pragmatically explored through the prism of locus of control, Rogerian psychotherapy principles, Peplau's theory of interpersonal relations, and the work of Kay Redfield Jamison, the Concordant Actions in Suicide Assessment (CASA) model frames clinical decision making along a continuum defined by concordant and state-based action. Therein, cognitive reframes are offered to illustrate how to apply the CASA model in clinical practice.
