Approximately one million people worldwide commit suicide each year, and at least ten times as many attempt suicide. A considerable number of these people are in contact with members of the healthcare sector, and encounters with suicidal individuals form a common part of the everyday work of many healthcare professionals. Suicide: An unnecessary death examines the pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, and psychosocial measures adopted by psychiatrists, GPs, and other health-care staff, and emphasizes the need for a clearer psychodynamic understanding of the self if patients are to be successfully recognized, diagnosed, and treated. Drawing on the latest research by leading international experts in the field of suicidology, this new edition provides clinicians with an accessible summary of the latest research into suicide and its prevention. The abundance of new literature can make it difficult for those whose clinical practice involves daily contact with suicidal patients to devote sufficient time to penetrating the research and, accordingly, apply new findings in their clinical practice. In light of the WHO Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020, this new edition is a timely contribution to the field, and a vital and rapid overview, that will increase awareness of suicide prevention methods.

Working with figures all her life Eve Somerset is persuaded to look in to the possibility of irregularities within the Greenway Holder Group of companies. The Inland Revenue dont have any issues and the police cannot get involved in an unofficial capacity, Eve is sceptical but agrees to see what see what she can find. When the body found in the burnt out remains of a stolen car is identified as the editor of the local newspaper, Bert Foxley, everyone is in shock. The unexpected arrival of James Foxley helps Eve in many ways but also adds to her confusion. The investigation in to Bert Foxleys death is going nowhere, no motive, no suspect. Eve is getting nowhere fast as she continues to look into the workings of Greenway Holder getting more confused by the day. But slowly, inexorably the two events are drawing together. A seemingly unconnected comment from James Foxley and the admission that his brother had been the recipient of a hate campaign that had gone on for years send Eve to the hospital bedside of a long-time acquaintance where she hears a terrible confession. Nothing to do with Berts death, she is assured. The problems at Greenway Holder and Eves conclusions are handed over to the police and in attempt to help keep an eye on the Greenway Holder staff possibly involved, Eve makes a startling discovery that provides the police with both motive and suspect for the murder of the newspaper editor. The trial of the accused, which should be straight forward and uncomplicated, proves to be anything but. A Not Guilty plea and the arrival of a hot-shot, media savvy defence barrister and the revelations that follow turn the justice system upside down. Its said you cant get away with murder.......................Dont you believe it!

Against the backdrop of a father's return from the horrors of World War II and the hardships of the Great Depression's Dust Bowl days, Paul Hight and his family take comfort in the routines of family, church, and rural life until a tragic accident shatters their lives. In the search for answers afterward, a decision is made that Paul will become a priest, a priest for life-as he and his family believe and the Catholic Church teaches. Yet when mental illness descends on Hight in his late twenties, instead of taking on his burden as it would a priest with cancer or heart disease, the church purges Hight from its priestly ranks. Once again, the world becomes an uncertain, dangerous place, where voices taunt him and visions give orders he feels compelled to follow. While his family keeps Hight from becoming homeless, in the end, their help is not enough to keep him safe. On his own doorstep, Hight is shot and killed in an encounter with police that is seen too often with those struggling with mental illness. Haunted by his oldest brother's death, journalist Joe Hight turns his Pulitzer-Prize-winning skills on finding the truth about his brother's exit from the priesthood and the breakdowns in the mental health care and criminal justice systems that contributed to his death. He seeks lessons from the senseless death in the hopes that unnecessary sorrow might never happen again.

*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Death is a clear-cut objective moment, but the process of dying and the choices we make for our own death and others is a wholly different subject. Not becoming educated on your ability to influence your dying process is leaving that potentially long helpless period to fate. Raw and informative, this book explores the truth and asserts your right to knowledge and your right to say “No” to medical procedures that ultimately only prolong suffering once imminent and inevitable death arrives. What can be done to decrease unnecessary suffering before inevitable death? This suffering is almost always influenced by a fear or lack of acceptance of death. For the most part, the healthcare field cannot stop this pain and suffering because of influences beyond its control, unless you know how to protect yourself. Ultimately, it is up to the patient or their medical guardian to ensure a peaceful and dignified death. It is obvious Vincent cares deeply about your awareness, knowledge, and choices, as well as your control of your body and your own health care. He cares to see your unnecessary fears of this often dark and taboo subject alleviated. His professional and personal caring perspectives come from 21 years of bedside emergency and intensive care nursing in teaching hospitals, followed by 14 more years of advocating for both the dying and the living to pilot their own health care. He takes a look at an otherwise bitterly-avoided subject that we all must face and turns it into a highly informative, easy, and, at times, even a funny read. There is a sweet icing on this normally hard-to-stomach cake known as dying and death: he also has some great input on how not only to stay alive, but to feel more alive.

When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."

In the 1980s, following the recommendation of a presidential commission, all fifty states replaced previous cardiopulmonary definitions of death with one that also included total and irreversible cessation of brain function. The Definition of Death: Contemporary Controversies is the first comprehensive review of the clinical, philosophical, and public policy implications of our effort to redefine the change in status from living person to corpse. Edited by Stuart J. Youngner, Robert M. Arnold, and Renie Schapiro, the book is the result of a collaboration among internationally recognized scholars from the fields of medicine, philosophy, social science, law, and religious studies. Throughout, the contributors struggle to reconcile inconsistencies and gaps in our traditional understanding of death and to respond to the public's concern that, in the determination of death under current policies, patients' interests may be compromised by the demand for organ retrieval. Their questions about the philosophical and scientific bases for determining death lead, inevitably, to more profound questions of social policy. Acknowledging that the definition of death is as much a social construct as a scientific one, the authors, in their analysis of these issues, provide a comprehensive and provocative source of information for students and scholars alike.
