Black Suicide and Social Support Systems: An Overview and Some Implications for Mental Health Practitioners.
Davis, Robert
Phylon, v43 n4 p307-14 Dec 1982
Examines suicide rates among Blacks and explores theories that attempt to explain this phenomenon. Suggests that increased incidence of suicide among young Blacks is due to decreased Black solidarity because of stresses from overt racism, and discusses intervention strategies for suicide prevention and therapy that emphasize strengthened social support.
