Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine why an attempt at suicide does not always indicate the beginning of a life with poor mental health.
Design/methodology/approach
Case studies, supplemented by follow-up studies of attempted suicides.
Findings
One of the strongest predictors of a healthy life after the suicide attempt was found to be improvement in the appropriateness of behavior toward others and improved adult functioning.
Originality/value
The results suggest that behavioral coaching, in addition to traditional psychiatric treatment, could help attempted suicides move on with their lives productively.
