[Psychotherapeutic intervention with families after multiple suicides]

Every suicide must be seen as tragedy. The amount of that tragedy is sometimes extraordinary. For example, when families experience multiple suicides. The consequences should be, by enhanced postvention to prevent a PTSD-like syndrome and to consider more often the administration of SSRI in persons bereaved by suicide. When manifest phases are prevalent, substances like lithium are recommendable. The importance of psychotherapy and psychosocial intervention has to be emphasized.
