Interventions
ASSIP (Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program) flex
ASSIP is a specific therapy for patients after a suicide attempt. The brief therapy ASSIP consists of 3-4 sessions of approximately 50 min. each. ASSIP flex delivers ASSIP in the patient's personal environment as an outreach home treatment. The structure of the ASSIP is the same as in the regular ASSIP, but the program is delivered in the patient's environment. Session 1: A narrative interview is conducted, in which the patient is asked to tell her personal story, which led to the suicidal crisis. The narrative is video-recorded. Session 2: Using video playback of the recorded narrative, patient and therapist explore further details of the suicidal process. Session 3: A case conceptualization focusing on the patient's vulnerability and the trigger of the suicidal crisis is formulated in writing. A list of safety strategies for the prevention of future suicidal behavior is developed jointly with the patient. Regular letters are sent to patients over a period of 2 years.
