Rudy Nydegger writes about suicide and mental illness as if neither topic were taboo, nor the province of experts only. And that's his point. His book, <i>Suicide and Mental Health</i>, published last year, presents the subjects in a straight forward, non-judgmental way. Nydegger intended it to be accessible to readers as young as high school students, who may have friends struggling with depression or thinking about ending their lives. . . . Its direct approach works well in puncturing some cultural assumptions about suicide, such as the idea that only mentally ill individuals would consider ending their lives intentionally.

Delving into a topic of perennial interest and concern, particularly among teenagers, this important volume addresses the full range of issues related to suicide and suggests ways to help those who struggle. While the risk of suicide is increasing across age groups, the good news is that with timely intervention, most suicides are preventable. Written primarily for high school and college students as well as for their teachers and parents, this guide combines relevant research and theories about suicide with current clinical thinking and approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Going beyond the clinical, the volume also explores suicide in history and in popular culture and examines relevant cultural, religious, moral, and ethical viewpoints. It looks at suicide among various demographic groups, probes psychological motivations and methods used, and discusses the controversy surrounding a person's right to die. What differentiates this work from others is that it covers the breadth of the subject but also considers issues in enough depth to make their importance and complexity clear. Readers will better understand the problem of suicide, its impact, and the approaches that can be used to prevent suicide and deal more effectively with at-risk individuals.
