Abstract
Do They Suffer More? Reflections on Research Comparing Suicide Survivors to Other Survivors
Ellenbogen S~~Gratton F
This article contrasts public perceptions of suicide survivors with conclusions based on comparative studies of suicide, fatal accident survivors, & other survivors. Although suicide is commonly thought to cause a particularly burdensome grief, quantitative studies have often failed to support this. The authors offer some interpretations of these findings & suggest future pathways for research. (44 refs.)
