Abstract
Studies of preadolescents strongly suggest that the prevalence of depr ession and suicidal activity among them has been seriously underestima ted. The authors review current thinking about preadolescent suicide; discuss its implications for clinicians, supervisors, and agency admin istrators; and recommend a research agenda to guide and support effect ive practice with preadolescents at risk for suicide.
