Abstract
Background: Safety or emergency plan interventions, i.e., the creation of a list of hierarchically organized strategies and persons/institutions that patients can use or contact in case of a suicidal escalation, are increasingly used in clinical practice.
Method: This narrative review describes the approach for establishing an emergency plan and discusses studies on the effectiveness of such interventions. In addition, ideas on the mode of action of corresponding interventions and application variants are discussed.
Results: Despite increasing dissemination of safety plans, empirical evidence of their effectiveness is currently inadequate.
Discussion: High-quality studies are urgently needed, particularly with respect to different clinical populations. At this point in time, it should be cautioned against understanding the creation of an emergency plan as a sufficient intervention in dealing with suicidal patients.
