  • Summary

    The eruption of the suicide epidemic at adolescence is of great concern and has led the efforts to initiate programs for prevention for the young. This chapter presents major approaches, principles, and techniques of suicide prevention programs prevalent in schools and prevention centers. It focuses on a selection of theories with an emphasis on those which provide insights into the subjective experience of the suicidal individual. It is necessary to identify what in the suicidal process itself and in its dynamics permits reversing the self-destructive behavior. M. M. Silverman and R. W. Maris have extended Haddon's injury control models for public health into suicide prevention. This involves the classical tripartite model of primary, secondary, and tertiary intervention. Various suicide prevention programs employ different tactics. It should be based on national policies and cultural values integrating enhancement of life in everyday living.
