Abstract

Suicide attempts are considered one of the most important risk factors for suicide. Against this background, various psychotherapeutic treatments for people after a suicide attempt have been developed and evaluated in recent years. In this article, the current evidence from efficacy research is summarized, an example of an effective suicide-focused psychotherapy program is presented, and the current state of research and knowledge is critically reflected. In principle, suicide-specific psychotherapy is of particular importance in individual-centered suicide prevention; however, the empirical foundation and dissemination of specific treatments is still insufficient. © 2021 Georg Thieme Verlag.
