N2  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Since psychotherapies for suicide prevention are receiving increasing attention, our purpose was to evaluate the related literature [meta-analyses and reviews on their effect on suicidal outcomes (A), perspective reviews concerning specific socio-demographic and clinical features (B), original studies with particular interest (C)] published over the last 3 years. RECENT FINDINGS: (A) Across different diagnoses, particularly, efficacious psychotherapies were cognitive behavioral therapy-based ones and interventions directly addressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors during the treatment. When the focus was restricted to specific diagnoses, results were different: for example, in borderline patients, dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapies were the only efficacious interventions. (B) Family therapies for adolescents and treatments for elderly depressed patients with disability/cognitive impairment should be further developed. (C) General long-term effects seem to be present, but specific interventions and treatment duration should be considered. <br><br>RESULTS indicated the presence of a number of promising interventions.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
