Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Chronic suicidal ideation is common in clinical practice. Nevertheless, there is little advice available on the therapeutic management of chronic suicidal ideation.

METHODS: Building on the idea that reinforcement processes are highly relevant to the persistence of suicidal ideation and that persistent suicidal ideation has partly positive connotations for those concerned, the present article proposes a treatment approach.

RESULTS: In this treatment approach, elements of explicit-focused ambivalence work are combined with therapy elements from Metacognitive Therapy and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

DISCUSSION/Conclusion: It is emphasized that dealing with chronic suicidal ideation requires a different therapeutic approach than dealing with acute suicidal ideation © 2022 S. Karger AG, Basel.
