Abstrakt:	The authors discuss the dynamics of suicide how to work with a potentially suicidal client in the counseling relationship, and legal and ethical implications for the counselor. Working with potentially suicidal clients is an important responsibility of counselors and other mental health care professionals. As a cause of death, suicide has ranked among the top five to ten in most European countries and North America for many years (Touhy, 1974). According to the World Health Organization (1968), a suicidal act is defined as "the self-infliction of injury with varying degrees of lethal intent and awareness of motive. 'Suicide' means a suicidal act with fatal outcome, 'attempted suicide' one with non-fatal outcome" (pp. 10-11). The majority of persons who attempt suicide are not successful. Out of the 1 million people who reportedly attempt to kill themselves each year, only about 25,000 actually do so (Perr, 1979). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
