- About this blog
Commitment to Living documents what I am learning, thinking, teaching, and investigating about assessment and response to suicide risk. My aims are: to share ideas and discoveries that might be useful to other clinicians. to update colleagues who are working on projects with me about what I’m learning. to open early observations to examination and criticism by colleagues near and far. to experiment with this venue of learning and knowledge-sharing as a complement to traditional (academic) venues.
