%X In comparison with four major contemporary causes of death in the Occidental world, the progress we have made in combating rising rates of suicide is not encouraging. During recent decades, the significant decreases in death rates from cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and cerebral vascular accidents (e.g. strokes) have not been seen in suicide/suicide prevention. Regretfully, the rate of suicide in the general population during recent decades has trended upwards. In the light of these data, those involved in the care of the suicidal person might welcome additional literature that has the potential to help address the alarming rate of suicide and thus I welcome the publication of this new book
