Abstract

A rationale for therapy with suicidal elderly patients, from assessment through psychotherapy, is presented. The process includes thorough and comprehensive attention to not only the suicidal individual, but also the situational and family components of the suicide crisis; crisis interuention; general principles of treatment; and applications of these principles to individual, group, and, family therapy. The intensity and complexity of the transference and countertransfirme reactions are emphasized.
