Suicide is increasingly understood and predicted as an intersection
of biological, psychological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors.
We have some basic knowledge of these factors and how they
interact, but presently we know very little about how culture can
play a role as a variable that influences suicide. Suicide Among
Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups will go a long way towards
filling that gap by pulling together cutting edge empirical
research from general cultural diversity literature and applying it
to suicide assessment, treatment, and prevention theory and
practice. By looking outside of the limited cross-cultural studies
done within suicidal populations, the contributors - all
established experts in both multicultural counseling and
suicidology - expand the available empirical literature base in
order to provide a deeper look into how culture can act as an
important catalyst in suicidal intentions. Following theoretical
overviews, the text focuses on six broad ethic groups classified in
the literature (African American, American Indian, Asian American,
European American, Hawaiian & Pacific Islander, and Hispanic),
with a main chapter devoted to each, relating each culture to
suicide research, highlighting specific variables within the
culture that can influence suicide, and presenting appropriate
treatment considerations. A final section of the book consists of
practical applications within specific settings (therapy, outreach,
schools, psychiatric services) and prevention and training issues.
