Mair, you know I rarely disagree with your position, but there is one additional factor to consider. If Shar has obsessive ruminations about suicide and the therapist makes them forbidden fruit with the agreement, the obsessions might well become stronger and more disruptive. Obsessions have a habit of doing that. Depending on the strength of the obsessions, that could be a real problem.
I've stayed out of this discussion so far because I can see both sides of the issue. But I do think that there are some valid and sensible reasons to think long and hard about making such an agreement. Perhaps if obsessive ruminations are actually a problem for Shar, she and her therapist could come up with some contingency plans for dealing with them so that the prospect wouldn't be as frightening.
