[Fears in Dealing with Suicidal Patients: A Comparative Examination of Licensed Psychotherapists and Psychotherapeutic Trainees].

CONCLUSION: Therapists are mainly afraid of the consequences of a suicide/attempted suicide. However, in total, fears are represented in a more moderate form and seem to be less distinctive than 20 years ago. It can be assumed that an increasing professionalization of the therapeutic interaction with suicidal patients has led to a reduction of therapists' fears.
