Cognitive AppRoaches to coMbatting Suicidality

The investigators' psychological therapy is a recovery-focused, structured, time-limited, socio-cognitive intervention. It is based upon the investigators' recently developed treatment manual (Tarrier et al., 2013) and pilot RCTs in the community (Tarrier et al., 2014) and in prison (Tarrier et al., accepted). The intervention modifies negative appraisals of emotional regulation, social support, and interpersonal problem-solving. As a consequence, perceptions of defeat, entrapment, and hopelessness will be improved indirectly. In addition, perceptions of defeat, entrapment, and hopelessness will be worked on directly during the therapy.
