Suicide & Self Mutilation
Suicide and self-mutilation have been viewed as correlated dynamics of the human condition. Effective assessment and treatment relies on exploring the distinct nature of each behavior and how they differ based on the goal and outcome each behavior is designed to achieve. Jack Klott—using case studies taken from his 45-year-career as a suicideologist—will bring to life the ideas, theories and concepts presented in this one-of-a-kind workshop. After examining the goals of suicide and the goals that the self-mutilator desires to achieve, you will delve into treatment strategies that will help guide your client to achieve those goals with other, less damaging strategies. You will learn which personality types are most vulnerable to acts of suicide and self-mutilation, as well as the essential link between these behaviors and addiction disorders. Most importantly, your attention will be focused on the treatment relationship and the key to hope for both the suicidal and the self-harm clients.
