TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Suicidal Asian patients: recommendations for treatment JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Takahashi, Yoshitomo SP - 305 EP - 313 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - I was given an opportunity to learn how suicide prevention programs are administered in the United States. Not surprisingly, treatment for suicidal patients is conducted in terms of the basic tenets of Western culture. When American therapists are seeing Asian patients, especially suicidal individuals who are regressed and show cultural characteristics, the therapists should be aware of the importance of cultural differences. This report discusses recommendations for treating suicidal Asian patients. LA - SN - 0363-0234 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
