“A suicidal thought in a 9-year-old is not the same as one in a 19-year-old—but both can be deadly.” Focused on developmental contexts, this volume examines how suicidal thoughts and behaviors are shaped by age, identity formation, relational dynamics, and cultural influences. It emphasizes the importance of developmentally informed formulation, helping clinicians distinguish between the meanings of suicidality in children, adolescents, and emerging adults. Practical strategies and clinical examples illustrate how to support young people with attunement and care.
