尽管自杀行为是一个严重的公共卫生问题，但几乎没有有效的治疗方法来治疗这一群体。本文描述了一种新的认知疗法干预，该疗法已被开发用于治疗最近的自杀未遂者。这种干预是基于认知疗法的一般原则，针对的是在个体自杀企图之前被激活的自动思维和核心信念。向患者传授特定的认知和行为技术，目的是减少自杀念头，防止未来的自杀企图。除了精神诊断外，这种治疗方法在将自杀行为作为主要问题方面是独一无二的。提供了三个详细的案例，说明了对不同类型的患者使用这种治疗方法。
Although suicidal behavior is a serious public health problem, few effective treatments exist to treat this population. This article describes a new cognitive therapy intervention that has been developed for treating recent suicide attempters. The intervention is based on general principles of cognitive therapy and targets the automatic thoughts and core beliefs that were activated just prior to the individual's suicide attempt. Specific cognitive and behavioral techniques are taught to the patient with the goal of decreasing suicidal thoughts and preventing future suicide attempts. The treatment is unique in targeting suicidal behavior as the primary problem, apart from psychiatric diagnosis. Three detailed case examples are provided that illustrate the use of the treatment with different types of patients.
