Abstract
After reviewing the literature on the effects of a patient’s suicide on the treating psychotherapists, we surveyed twenty colleagues who had to deal with such an occurrence. We found that the psychotherapist, as suicide survivor, incorporates this traumatic event into his personal and professional life.Keywords
