Abstract

Within the contexts of both the American Association of Suicidology's (AAS's) history and the history of associating suicidologists, an integrative identity based on the tenets of science is urged for the AAS. Two propositions are made: first, that we must promote and adopt more discriminative, standardized terminology; second, that we must promote and implement standards of informational competency for professionals and paraprofessionals alike.
