==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this was a solid, promising, well-researched chapter.
  2. For more feedback, see these copyedits and comments below.

Theory[edit source]

  1. The argument presented for using Maslow's hierarchy of needs to explain suicidality is weak. The model is presented, discounted on the basis on a large study, then used in a speculative argument. Remove this section.
  2. The rest of the structure and coverage of theories behind treatments is excellent.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well described and integrated.
  2. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
