    AbstractEmergency physicians, paramedics and the staff of the emergency room play an increasingly important role in the medical and psychological emergency treatment of patients after suicide attempts, as well as in the crisis intervention of persons with acute suicidal tendency. This article aims to give an overview of prevalence rates, method of suicide or attempted suicide, and the problems faced by EPs when treating these patients. In addition, concepts are presented which allow for an adequate risk assessment of suicidality and showing possibilities of primary crisis intervention.(c) Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart-New York.
