TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The suicidal mode: a cognitive-behavioral model of suicidality JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Rudd, Michael David SP - 18 EP - 33 VL - 30 IS - 1 N2 - This article discusses the theoretical foundation and potential clinical application of the suicidal mode, a cognitive behavioral theory of suicidality. The model presented represents a specific elaboration of Beck's modal theory of psychopathology. In addition to discussing the fundamental requirements of a theory of suicidality, the theoretical assumptions of the suicidal mode are identified, its component parts defined, its inherent strengths emphasized, and its application in clinical settings detailed. Definition of a modal theory of suicidality represents the growing influence of cognitive-behavioral theory in efforts at psychotherapeutic integration in clinical suicidology.
