Assessment and Treatment of Suicidal Clients in a University Counseling Center.

Jobes, David A.; Jacoby, Aaron M.; Cimbolic, Peter; Hustead, Lisa Anne T.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n4 p368-77 Oct 1997

Reports on two studies that explore assessment and treatment issues pertaining to suicidal student-clients. Results suggest that Suicide Status Form (SSF) items have good convergent validity and that differences exist between client and clinician pretreatment SSF ratings. Client pretreatment SSF ratings could accurately classify clients into unique treatment-outcome groups. (RJM)
