FONSECA-PEDRERO, Eduardo; PEREZ-ALBENIZ, Alicia y AL-HALABI, Susana. Suicidal behavior in adolescents under review: fostering hope through action. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.3, pp.173-184. Epub 11-Sep-2023. ISSN 1886-1415. https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol.3000.
Suicide is a serious public health problem. The main goal of this paper is to carry out a narrative review of suicidal behavior in adolescents. Basically, the aim is twofold: to provide updated information and to introduce mental health professionals and society to this topic for their training and knowledge. To this end, first, a conceptual delimitation of suicidal behavior is produced. Second, epidemiological issues are addressed. Third, psychological models of suicidal behavior are presented, along with the possible explanations underlying this phenomenon. Fourth, the risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior are mentioned. Next, assessment tools for this sector of the population are introduced. Subsequently, prevention strategies are discussed, focusing on the importance of educational environments. Empirically supported psychological treatments for dealing with suicidal behavior are also proposed. Finally, future lines of research are discussed, and a brief summary is made.
