Title: thoughtful, concise, and helpful book on dealing with suicidal thoughts
Review: The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook is written by Kathryn Gordon, PhD, who is a therapist that does work with suicidal clients. This book was one of the best books I have ever read about suicide. It give practical worksheets (some of which are downloadable from the book’s website) as well as a cheering on for making this far. Dr. Gordon uses perfect examples of how to answer the questions if you get stuck or have trouble answering them. There are no right or wrong answers and she encourages you throughout the book. I highly recommend this book for people who have suicidal thoughts, loved ones who have people with suicidal thoughts, as well as professionals that work with suicidal clients.

Title: Genuine and good for all
Review: Dr. Gordon approaches suicidality in a non-judgmental genuine way. Throughout the workbook, she validates feelings, encourages self-reflection and blends in solid research. I feel she’s leading me on a journey of understanding myself, and also that of humanity. As the workbook progresses, more challenging questions arise, provoking deeper contemplation. Dr. Gordon manages to make a complex process into some thing everyone can understand. It’s well written, based on solid evidence but most of all, very genuine. This book is more than the topic of suicide, it is a book about validation, love, courage and hope. I wish I had this work book in my residency years. In my psychiatric practice, I deal with patients with suicidal thoughts; what I’ve learned her will improve my practice.

Title: Indispensable for clinicians; life-saving for clients
Review: As a therapist, psychotherapy trainer, and supervisor, I have long lamented the absence of this book in our professional world. Helping clients to manage suicidal thoughts is often so poorly taught, I think partly because professors and supervisors aren't comfortable enough (because they aren't equipped well enough!) This book should be in every therapist's hands, and then on every therapist's bookshelf so they can read it again next year, pull out that perfect activity, or copy that essential chapter for a client in immediate need. This workbook is incredibly compassionate and thorough, gentle and practical. There's no shying away from any difficult topics, and everything is handled with steadfast confidence in and grace for the reader. This is an indispensable resource for therapists, and I have no doubt it will be life-saving for clients.

Title: Wonderful resource!
Review: What a great resource for individuals who are struggles with thoughts of suicide. Dr. Gordon is the perfect trio of teacher, clinician, and researcher, and her book comes across as informative without being overly technical. If used as a self-help book, one feels that the author is present as she encourages and validates the reader after various exercises. She seems to perfectly predict what a client might say next and responds accordingly with research, a reframe, or thoughts for continued discussion.As a mental health practitioner, I use many of the strategies and assessments when working with my own clients. I have found this resource so helpful for both clients and families who are supporting a loved one with suicidal thoughts. I can't speak highly enough of this book--it's a must read.

Title: Great resource for suicide prevention!
Review: As a psychology graduate student, I was really excited to come across such a great resource for suicide prevention! I like that it is suitable for a broad range of audiences (e.g., patient, student, practitioner, loved ones of someone with suicidal ideation). I also like the mixture of material (e.g., information about concepts like types of suicidal thoughts; exercises to relate it back to the user; clear examples of exercises; scenarios). Suicidality is incredibly complex, so having a workbook that covers the subject in an extensive yet approachable manner is wonderful. I also love Alyse Ruriani's illustrations! It incorporates evidence-based approaches for coping with suicidal thinking. It also has worksheets throughout that can easily be filled out by the user (e.g., crisis plan summary sheet). I am sure that many people will find this workbook incredibly useful!

Title: Invaluable resource for those struggling with suicidal thoughts
Review: As a clinical psychologist, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Dr. Gordon presents research-based strategies in a clear, user-friendly manner. With a compassionate voice, she de-stigmatizes suicidal thinking, letting readers know that they are not alone and instilling hope. A must-read for anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts, or anyone who treats those with suicidal thoughts.

Title: Not all encompassing physical pain not dealt with
Review: This book overlooks severe chronic pain as a reason for suicidality. Hugely disappointed. I don't understand how the author could comprehensively deal with the topic and not cover this cause.

Title:
Review: This is the most compassionate, caring and sensitive book I've ever read in my life. The book immediately in its introduction tells you, "if you reading at this present moment feel like committing suicide please contact the national helpline for suicide prevention". The book provides you with relief and makes you feel you're not alone. It outlines the signs and triggers of people becoming suicidal. It outlines your thinking in specfic details. It provides with confident boosters to relieve your pain. The book provides worksheets and excercises to your symptoms and how to resolve them in a healthier manner. A must read for persons who suffer with feelings of sadness, hopelessness and loneliess.
