Abstract

Suicide is the leading cause of death among Swiss adolescents. Often, a suicide attempt is the outcome of a "suicidal process" at the end of which death is perceived as the only means of escaping from intolerable psychic pain. A suicide attempt entails a high risk of repetition. AdoASSIP, a brief adjunctive therapy adapted for adolescents, which is being implemented in Switzerland, specifically aims at reducing that risk. Starting from the story of the suicide attempt told by the adolescent, patient and therapist jointly try to better understand the "logic" of the suicidal process. Short-term and long-term needs, as well as warning-signs of a crisis are identified, and a safety plan is developed. AdoASSIP is now available in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud.
