Dr. Strosahl alleges that hospitalization does not reduce the incidence of suicide ands offers statistical proof that the incidence of suicide is greater in psychiatric hospitals than it it is outside of psychiatric hospitals. By this logic all cancer wards should be cleared since the death rates from cancer are substantially highter in hospitals than they are in the population at large. Dr. Strosahl also writes that mental health professionals should never be held to have met the test of foreseeability for a patients suicide after taking into consideration all of the patients risk factors. That begs the question, Why bother doing a patient suicide risk assessment at all?
