Abstract	To date, no empirically based inpatient intervention for individuals who have attempted suicide exists. We present an overview of a novel psychotherapeutic approach, Post-Admission Cognitive Therapy (PACT), currently under development and empirical testing for inpatients who have been admitted for a recent suicide attempt. PACT is adapted from an efficacious and brief outpatient cognitive therapy protocol (Brown, Henriques, Ratto, & Beck, 2002; Brown et al., 2005) for inpatient delivery to individuals with recent suicide attempts. Within a cognitive framework, attempting suicide is conceptualized as a maladaptive coping strategy that deserves immediate targeted clinical attention regardless of the patient's diagnosis. The primary aims of PACT are to reduce the likelihood of suicide attempt recurrence as well as decrease the severity of established psychological risk factors for suicide. The three phases of PACT involve (1) building a therapeutic alliance and developing a cognitive conceptualization based on the recent suicide attempt; (2) instilling hope, practicing effective coping strategies, and addressing problem-solving deficits; and (3) preventing relapse, constructing a safety plan, and promoting timely linkage with outpatient aftercare services. The efficacy of PACT as a targeted inpatient treatment package remains to be established. The cognitive behavioral components of PACT, as described here, are based on evidence-informed practices aimed at improving the quality of care provided to inpatients following a suicide attempt.
