Abstract

This small volume with only five articles presents one of the best overviews on suicide in children and adolescents. Most of the authors are Canadian, working in the Ottawa area, and are recognized as among the leaders in the field of childhood and adolescent depression and suicide.
In the first article, Joffe and Offord discuss epidemiology. Here, the incidence of suicide among children and adolescents is reviewed worldwide, with special attention given to the United States and Canada. They also consider psychosocial correlates of suicide and the methods most frequently used.
