title: Disagreement between therapists and subsequent suicide of the patient.
abstract: Two cases of suicide are reported for clients whose treating therapists disagreed about treatment. Therapists treating depressed and suicidal clients should be aware of the dangers to the client should such disagreement occur. Therapists should work together to formulate a treatment plan that is in a client's best interest.
