[Crisis intervention].

Abstract

The main characteristic of suicide prevention is the flexibility in the methods used. The methods can never be chosen haphazardly, but have to be fitting to the situation and the individual patient. Work on the relationship, confrontation with suicidal behavior, working on actual circumstances of life and the social environment are the main issues. The "HOW" will have to vary according the circumstances: knowing the diversity of human beings, human crisis and its causes vary, and therefore the methods have to adjust to this fact.
