FINDINGS FROM BEING IN DIALOGUE WITH 16,000 SUICIDAL CLIENTS OVER 30 YEARS
3 MOST COMMON “CONTEXTUAL” THEMES
- “I am LOST”
- “I am TRAPPED.”
- “I am STUCK
AS SEEN IN THE NEW YORK TIMES (online): “After seeing so many thousands of suicidal persons, I discovered a ubiquitous “through line” or underlying common pattern running through all of these thousands of cases: the suicidal person is struggling in a “bifurcated state’.”
CCT: A NEW APPROACH TO
SUICIDE THERAPY
- CCT recognizes that feeling suicidal is not an “illness” but rather, an identity crisis.
- CCT acknowledges that to prevent suicide it needs to be properly conceptualized.
- CCT creatively uses the suicidal person’s own language, as well as individually personalized “Maps, Models, and Metaphors” to support the suicidal person to conceptualize and understand the root of their suicidal thinking.
2020 CCT RESEARCH STUDY
- Research study by The George Washington University, Milken Institute School of Public Health - “A Qualitative Assessment of an Innovative Suicide Prevention and Treatment Approach: Contextual-Conceptual Therapy” - published in the Journal of Public Health International.
