THEORETICAL STUDY

Assessing and managing suicide risk: a competency-based approach and a training plan.
Part II.
Suicide is a major global and local public health issue. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other professionals must receive appropriate training to ensure that people in suicidal crises receive the best possible care. This study aims to present a national adaptation of training based on the Core Competency Model of Suicide Prevention (CCM). The study reviews the evolution of trends and paradigm shifts in suicide prevention literature, including risk identification for therapeutic purposes, the emergence of „ideation-to-action” theories and fluidity theory of suicidality, the role of cultural stress and other cultural variables, and effective suicide prevention interventions. These changes have impacted the competency model of suicide prevention presented here, and the study proposes a training plan that focuses on developing professionals’ self-reflection about suicide prevention, risk identification, developing a relationship with the suicidal patient, documenting risk assessment, and practitioner self-care, following the sequence of the ten key competencies. The study emphasizes the need for cultural and minority specificity in suicide prevention theory and practice. Finally, the study recommends validity studies of the ten-item instrument measuring key competencies in suicide prevention and assessment (SCAF-R, Suicide Competency Assessment Form – Revised) and possible applications and improvements of the training.
Keywords: competence – suicide – professionals – prevention – training
OVERVIEW STUDY
Kitti Jakobovits
The situation and dilemmas of bibliotherapy in Hungary
Bibliotherapy is a less well-known method in Hungary, however its popularity has grown rapidly in the recent years. Every year, more and more psychologists, teachers, librarians, coaches, mental health specialists, and professionals of the social sector start training and become bibliotherapists. Alas, neither direct professional reflection or scientific research, nor the user demand shown by the clients can necessarily keep up with this pace. The purpose of this study is to draw attention to this phenomenon and advance the filling of these gaps.
The diversity and wide-ranging application of the method is to be welcomed and should be emphasized rather than subjected to a unification as an attempt at homogeneity. At the same time, we must treat it as a fact that most of the difficulties and problems currently seen in the field come specifically from this diversity, from the free and creative interpretation of bibliotherapy. In my study, I present the world of Hungarian bibliotherapy, focusing on its areas of application, its place among the helping professions, a brief description of the methodology and training, and especially its current situation, its well-functioning points and its difficulties.
Keywords: literature therapy – bibliotherapy – method presentation – situation in Hungary
