This guide for clinicians presents a much-needed evidence-based brief intervention to prevent suicidal behavior. The guide is well-written and easy to follow using a plain
language (non-jargony) step-by-step approach to conducting CLASP. The authors are an accomplished team of clinicians with many years of experience working with
suicidal patients and their vast experience is in evidence throughout the guide.
