Le suicide est la première cause de mortalité chez les adolescents suisses. Une tentative de suicide est souvent l'issue d'un « p rocessus suicidaire » au terme duquel la mort est perçue comme seul moyen d'échapper à une douleur psychique intolérable. Une tentative de suicide comporte un risque important de réitération. AdoASSIP, une thérapie brève adjonctive adaptée pour les adolescents, qui est en cours d'implantation en Suisse, vise spécifiquement à diminuer ce risque. À partir du récit de la tentative de suicide racontée par l'adolescent, patient et thérapeute essayent conjointement de mieux comprendre la « logique » du processus suicidaire. Les besoins clés à court et long termes, ainsi que les signaux d'alerte d'une crise, sont identifiés et un plan de sécurité est élaboré. AdoASSIP est désormais disponible dans les cantons de Genève et Vaud. AdoASSIP, a novel therapeutic tool for the prevention of youth suicideSuicide is the leading cause of death among Swiss adolescents. Often, a suicide attempt is the outcome of a "suicidal process" at the end of which death is perceived as the only means of escaping from intolerable psychic pain. A suicide attempt entails a high risk of repetition. AdoASSIP, a brief adjunctive therapy adapted for adolescents, which is being implemented in Switzerland, specifically aims at reducing that risk. Starting from the story of the suicide attempt told by the adolescent, patient and therapist jointly try to better understand the "logic" of the suicidal process. Short-term and long-term needs, as well as warning-signs of a crisis are identified, and a safety plan is developed.
