Cognitive behavioral therapy for suicidal behaviors: improving patient outcomes
Overview
This systematic review examines the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for reducing suicidal cognitions and behaviors in adults based on 15 randomized controlled trials. The authors report that CBT specifically targeting suicide-related thoughts and actions shows evidence of effectiveness, whereas CBT focused primarily on treating underlying mental illness does not. The resource suggests training clinicians in techniques independent of general mental illness treatment to address suicidality.
