Present status and evaluation of suicide prevention and crisis intervention services in Europe

K Achté. Ment Health Soc. 1976.

Abstract

The present West-European suicide prevention and crisis intervention services are reviewed in the article, which also considers suicide prevention in the light of the literature, contains some critical remarks and puts forward certain suggestions for further development of the services concerned. It is concluded in the article that the present situation is not yet satisfactory as far as suicide prevention is concerned, nor is it likely today to be satisfactory in many countries in respect of crisis intervention.
