title: The adolescent: the individual in cultural perspective.
abstract: Case vignettes are presented to highlight the idiosyncratic dynamics and special cultural influences that describe adolescent suicides. Extrapolated from these cases are a series of aphorisms about the study of adolescent suicide and about adolescence, meant to inform both clinicians and researchers on the need to better attend to the individual in context of his or her cultural influences.
