Suicidal Tendencies Instruments
There are a host of assessment instruments that can be used to test for suicidal tendencies. They include the following: Life Orientation Inventory, Suicide Intent Scale and the Suicide Behaviours Questionnaire. I have chosen the three due to their familiarity to counsellors. They are used consistently in assessing or screening patients and individuals pre-suicide attempt (if a patient shows tendencies), if a patient is in an extremely depressive state and, as well, in the time period after a patients suicide attempt. They have been authored and then adapted to a host of contexts over time. I have expanded on each 3 as required below.
