The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is an evidence‐based clinical intervention that has significantly evolved over 25 years research. CAMS best understood as a therapeutic framework emphasizes unique collaborative assessment treatment planning process between the suicidal patient clinician. This designed to enhance alliance increase motivation in patient. Central approach use Suicide Status Form (SSF), which multipurpose assessment, planning, tracking, outcome...
According to SAMHSA (2023), approximately 16,600,000 American adults and teens reported having serious thoughts of suicide in 2022. While prevention has primarily focused on deaths attempts, we contend that suicidal ideation (SI) deserves more in-depth investigation should be an essential intervention target its own. In support this point, provide three examples ways improve specificity understanding SI through the study controllability SI, language used assess measuring real time. We also...
Suicidal patients are difficult and challenging clinical problems. Conceptual tools aid the clinician in organizing evaluating situation. The authors provide a framework for suicide risk assessment that emphasizes 2 domains—histor y of past attempt nature current suicidal symptoms—that have emerged research as crucial variables. These domains, when combined with other categories factors, produce categorization individual patient, leading, turn, to relatively routinized decision making...
Background: Despite the ubiquity of suicidality in behavioral health settings, empirically supported interventions for are surprisingly rare. Given importance resolving and therapists' anxieties about treating suicidal patients, there is a clear need innovative services clinical approaches. The purpose current study was an attempt to address some these needs by examining feasibility use new intervention called "Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality" (CAMS) within "Next-Day...
Remarkably little systematic research has studied the effects of clinical suicidology training on changing practitioner attitudes and behaviors. In current study we investigated whether in an empirically‐based assessment treatment approach to suicidal patients administered through a continuing education workshop could meaningfully impact professional practices, clinic policy, clinician confidence, beliefs posttraining 6 months later. At month follow‐up found that 44% practitioners reported...
Objective: This study describes a randomized controlled trial called "Operation Worth Living" (OWL) which compared the use of Collaborative Assessment and Management Suicidality (CAMS) to enhanced care as usual (E-CAU). We hypothesized that CAMS would be more effective than E-CAU for reducing suicidal ideation (SI) suicide attempts (SA), along with secondary behavioral health utilization markers U.S. Army Soldier outpatients significant SI (i.e., > 13 on Beck's Scale Suicide Ideation)....

The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is a novel clinical approach used to identify, assess, manage suicidal outpatients (Jobes & Drozd, 2004). results retrospective study evaluating the impact CAMS versus treatment as usual (TAU) on are presented. Patients in group (n = 25) resolved their suicidality significantly more quickly than TAU patients 30). was also associated with decreased medical health care utilization 6 months after start suicide-related mental...
Two studies addressed assessment and treatment issues pertaining to suicidal student-clients. In Study 1, the theoretical construction psychometric properties of Suicide Status Form (SSF) were described. Results suggest that SSF items have good convergent validity, strong criterion-prediction moderate test-retest reliability. 2, was applied a sample differences between client clinician pretreatment ratings. Client (not clinician) ratings could be used correctly classify clients into acute...
The suicide of rock star Kurt Cobain in 1994 raised immediate concerns among suicidologists and the public at large about potential for his death to spark copycat suicides, especially vulnerable youth. Seattle community, where lived died, was affected by sudden death. An overview Cobain's life is presented various crisis center community‐based interventions that occurred are discussed.

Abstract The continual rise in the U.S. military's suicide rate since 2004 is one of most vexing issues currently facing military leaders, mental health professionals, and experts. Despite considerable efforts to address this problem, however, rates have not decreased. authors consider possible reasons for frustrating reality, question common assumptions approaches prevention. They further argue that prevention more explicitly embrace culture implement evidence-based strategies across full...
Patients hospitalized for psychiatric reasons exhibit significantly elevated risk of suicide, yet the research literature contains very few outcome studies interventions designed suicidal inpatients. This pilot study examined inpatient feasibility and effectiveness The Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality (CAMS), a structured evidence-based method assessment treatment planning (Jobes, 2006). used an open-trial, case-focused design to assess adaptation CAMS, spread over period...
We investigated the psychometric validity and reliability of Suicide Status Form‐II (SSF‐II) developed by Jobes, Jacoby, Cimbolic, Hustead (1997) . Participants were 149 psychiatric inpatients (108 suicidal; 41 nonsuicidal) at Mayo Clinic. Each participant completed assessment measures within 24 hours admission 48–72 later. Factor analyses SSF core produced a robust two‐factor solution reflecting chronic acute response styles. The had good to excellent convergent criterion validity; pre‐post...
Researchers and theorists (e.g., Shneidman, Stengel, Kovacs, Beck) hyothesized that suicidal people engage in an internal debate, or struggle, over whether to live die, but few studies have tested its tenability. This study introduces direct assessment of a revealing new aspects ideation. Results, from online survey (N = 1,016), showed nearly all suicide-risk respondents engaged the debate. In addition, debate frequency accounted for 54% variance suicidality scores, significant associations...
A growing body of literature indicates that suicidal patients differ from other psychiatric with respect to specific psychological vulnerabilities and suicide-specific interventions may offer benefits beyond conventional care. This naturalistic controlled-comparison trial (n = 52) examined outcomes intensive hospital treatment (mean length stay 58.8 days), comparing who received individual therapy clinicians utilizing the Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality (CAMS) whose...

Although use of inpatient crisis hospital intervention for suicide risk is common, the evidence treatments that reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors remarkably limited. To address this need, novel feasibility pilot randomized controlled trial compared Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality (CAMS) to enhanced treatment as usual (E-TAU) within a standard acute mental health care setting.We hypothesized CAMS would be more effective than E-TAU in reducing behaviors. As secondary...
