QUESTIONS
1. Why should clinicians and others take seriously even a low-lethality type of suicide attempt? Or are such attempts really just “gestures”?
2. Identify a situation in which a danger of suicide was suspected. What was done or not done in response, and what were the reason why. As usual, we do not want you discussing anyone or any facility by name or even in a potentially identifiable fashion.
3. In sociocultural perspective, identify factors that may contribute to youth suicides in wealthy societies like the United States and Canada.
