This book is designed to fulfill three major goals. First, to let the reader know that some suicides can be prevented, and concepts are presented which can help to assist those in need. Secondly, to inform the reader that most suicides occur within a context-a family, a jail, a psychiatric hospital, and so forth. Careful post-mortem study of the suicide or suicide attempt in these settings can bring about improvements that minimize the likelihood that others will act out. Finally, the practicing attorney who encounters a suicide will, after reading this book, have in hand the tools and concepts needed to pursue the matter in the courts.
