Summary

Chapter 4 presents the NVR approach to suicide threats, which, implicitly or explicitly, are highly present in families with adult-children. Although the literature on suicide is immense, little has been written on how parents can cope with suicide threats. In NVR, parents are helped to cope with such threats by moving from helplessness to presence, from isolation to support, from submission to resistance, from escalation to self-control and from distance to supportive care.
