Abstract

Molock et al. (2023) offered an excellent scholarly review and critique of suicide assessment tools with youth of color. Although providing useful information, their article neglected essential relational components of suicide assessment, implied that contemporary suicide assessment practices are effective with White youth, and did not acknowledge the racist origins of acculturation. To improve the suicide assessment process, psychologists and other mental health providers should emphasize respect and empathy, show cultural humility, and seek to establish trust before expecting openness and honesty from youth of color. Additionally, the fact that suicide assessment with youth who identify as White is also generally unhelpful, makes emphasizing relationship and development of a working alliance with all youth even more important. Finally, acculturation has racist origins and is a one-directional concept based on prevailing cultural standards; relying on acculturation during assessments with youth of color should be avoided.

同理心、同情心和联系应成为有色人种青少年自杀评估的核心:对 Molock 等人(2023 年)的评论。
莫洛克等人(2023 年)对有色人种青少年自杀评估工具进行了出色的学术回顾和批评。虽然提供了有用的信息,但他们的文章忽视了自杀评估中重要的关系要素,暗示当代自杀评估方法对白人青少年有效,并且没有承认文化适应的种族主义起源。为了改进自杀评估过程,心理学家和其他心理健康服务提供者应该强调尊重和同理心,表现出文化上的谦逊,并在期望有色人种青少年开诚布公之前寻求建立信任。此外,对自认为是白人的青少年进行自杀评估通常也是无益的,这使得强调与所有青少年的关系和建立工作联盟变得更加重要。最后,文化适应起源于种族主义,是一个基于主流文化标准的单向概念;在对有色人种青少年进行评估时,应避免依赖文化适应。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,保留所有权利)。
