Suicide is increasingly understood and predicted as an intersection of biological, psychological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors. Drs. Leong and Leach have brought together established experts, in both multicultural counseling and suicidology, to combine cuttingedge empirical research from general cultural diversity literature and apply it to suicide assessment, treatment, and prevention theory and practice. Suicide Among Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups: Theory, Research, and Practice provides a deeper look into how culture can act as an important catalyst in suicidal intentions and behaviors.
