Gysin-Maillart, Anja Carolyn (24 September 2022). Workshop: Half-day preconference Symposium. Brief therapy for patients with suicidal behavior (Unpublished). In: ESSSB19th. Copenhagen.
Suicide may appear as an option to escape from a subjectively unbearable life situation and may repeatedly emerge throughout life as a possible coping strategy when major life or identity goals are seriously threatened. Treatment of this high-risk group is challenging. The Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) is a three to four session brief therapy with an ongoing contact by semi-standardized letters, and has been found to be efficacious in reducing suicidal behavior. The brief intervention ASSIP emphasizes an early collaborative therapeutic alliance with the suicidal patient with the aim to reach a shared understanding of the suicidal crisis in a life-career (biographical) context. Meaningful preventive measures can then be developed. ASSIP is offered to suicide attempters in addition to treatment as usual and does not replace a long-term treatment.
This workshop will introduce the main theoretical concepts and the practice of the brief therapy ASSIP. Workshop participants will be walked through the five ASSIP elements sessions step-by step. Video examples, role-play, and case discussions will be provided.
