Abstract

The impact of culture on suicide, both at the aggregate level and the individual level, is discussed. The deleterious impact of a changing culture, especially among native and aboriginal groups, is documented, and the assumption of the cultural invariability of suicidal phenomena questioned. The implications of cultural differences for counseling the suicidal client are explored.
