abstract="Fifteen years ago, I wrote in the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) newsletter, CASP NEWS, an article, entitled, &quot;The Death of Suicidology in Canada&quot;. Today, I looked back at that opinion and decided to reprint that article and look at the questions posed then anew. Our question (Q): Have things changed for suicide research in Canada? Unfortunately, our archival dig revealed that it is worse. Even CASP is now dead. Despite world-wide institutions, like the WHO, accepting that suicide is complex and multidetermined, it appears that a minimal biomedical understanding prevails, in the Canadian government and mental health institutions. There is no will and, as Einstein said, &quot;If there is no will, there is no way&quot;. Sadly, based on the past, I predict that research in suicidology will remain unborn.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
