Title: | Suicide and language: Why we shouldn't use the 'C' word | Contributor(s): | Beaton, Susan (author); Forster, Peter (author); Maple, Myfanwy (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 2013 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12220 | Abstract: | Suicide is not a sin and is no longer a crime, so we should stop saying that people 'commit' suicide. We now live in a time when we seek to understand people who experience suicidal ideation, behaviours and attempts, and to treat them with compassion rather than condemn them. Part of this is to use appropriate, non-stigmatising terminology when referring to suicide. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | InPsych, 35(1), p. 30-31 | Publisher: | Australian Psychological Society | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1441-8754 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111714 Mental Health | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 420313 Mental health services | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 920410 Mental Health | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 200409 Mental health | HERDC Category Description: | C3 Non-Refereed Article in a Professional Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.psychology.org.au/Content.aspx?ID=5048 |
