TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Suicide survivors and the suicidology academe JO - Crisis A1 - Cutcliffe, John A1 - Ball, P. Bonny SP - 208 EP - 214 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - Background: While encouraging and significant progress has been made toward integrating so-called suicide survivors into the suicidology academe, many problems and blocks still remain. A number of issues have yet to be acknowledged, let alone addressed. Aims/Methods: Drawing predominantly on the North American background and perspective, this paper offers a brief overview of the integration of suicide survivors within the suicidology academe. It explores rationales for forming such collaborations and provides some examples of successful alliances. The paper adopts a somewhat critical stance and highlights a number of blocks to collaboration. Conclusion: The paper concludes by drawing on the authors' experience of collaboration and uses this as the basis for offering additional avenues and options for strengthening collaboration and integration.
