Abstract

There are three main points (guidelines, patient safety and taboo of suicide) in the article. Guidelines for meeting suicidal patients presented by the Aeschi group are now available. These are based on the psychology of suicidality and are in line with the issue of client-centeredness in health care. To view suicidality as a patient safety issue also means that suicidal acts can be understood as a form of accident. The taboo of suicide has decreased, which has opened new doors for research. © 2016, Swedish Medical Association. All rights reserved.
