A Systematic Review Process to Evaluate Suicide Prevention Programs
The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Guide), one of the most rigorous methods of systematic reviews, was adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of 16 community, primarily youth, suicide prevention interventions, through a multisectoral collaboration. The Guide steps for obtaining and evaluating evidence on effectiveness include: forming a multidisciplinary team; developing a conceptual approach to organizing, grouping, selecting, and evalua…
Rebuilding the Tower of Babel
Since the publication of the O'Carroll et al. (1996) nomenclature for suicidology, there have been a number of published letters and articles, as well as an active e‐mail dialogue, in response to, and elaborating upon, this effort to establish a standard nomenclature for suicidology. This new nomenclature has been presented on a number of occasions at both national and international meetings. In this paper we provide the background, rationale, an…
Rebuilding the Tower of Babel
A revised and refined version of the O'Carroll et al. (1996) nomenclature for suicidology is presented, with a focus on suicide‐related ideations, communications, and behaviors. The hope is that this refinement will result in the development of operational definitions and field testing of this nomenclature in clinical and research settings. This revision would not have been possible without the international collaboration and dialogue addressing …
Beyond the Tower of Babel
Suicidology finds itself confused and stagnated for lack of a standard nomenclature. This paper proposes a nomenclature for suicide‐related behavior in the hope of improving the clarity and precision of communications, advancing suicidological research and knowledge, and improving the efficacy of clinical interventions.
Treatment of the suicidal adolescent
An overview of the clinical assessment, treatment, and management of suicidal adolescents is presented. Risk assessment is discussed as a multifocal evaluation of variables related to negative personal history, psychopathology, the breakdown of defenses, social isolation, negative views of the self/hopelessness, and stress. Treatment planning is presented as addressing suicide lethality and intentionality through the selection of an appropriate s…
Farm Crisis and Suicide
The relationship between the farm economic crisis and farmer suicide rates was examined using data from fifteen states in the United States from 1980 to 1985. Suicide frequencies for farmers and two control occupations (forestry and transportation workers) were obtained, and the 1980 U.S. Census occupational population data were used to convert these frequencies into suicide rates. Suicide rates for farmers were found to be greater than rates for…
Belief in Afterlife, Religion, Religiosity and Life-Threatening Experiences
The interrelated effects of religion, religiosity, belief in afterlife, and life-threatening experiences were studied to empirically test a number of previously untested propositions raised in the literature. The experience of a prior, subjectively perceived, inevitable death-threat had no effect on subsequent beliefs in a life after death (BA). On the other hand, BA was found to be primarily related to an ordered interaction among religions and …
Smoking Behavior
Studies relating smoking behavior to personality and attitudinal measures have given inconsistent results. The present study investigated the degree of relationship between smoking behavior and four dependent measures of life, death, and afterlife beliefs. Results from a sample of 300 college-age Ss indicated that none of the hypothesized relationships reached statistical significance. A trend toward significance was found in the degree of relati…

Social Schemas
The Felt Figure Replacement Technique (FFRT) was administered to 160 normally adjusted male Ss in three distinct chronological age groups. It was hypothesized that the existence of common social schemas would vary with age and that a neutral-latency group of Ss (aged 9.5 to 10.5 yr.) would produce different schematic reconstructions based on relative degrees of perceived maternal warmth. Chi-square analyses did not support the hypotheses. The res…
