Criminal Behaviorology 

Preventing Suicide in the Military and Among Veterans

Kent Corso is a psychologist, behavior analyst and Air Force veteran. In his many writings and presentations he has provided valuable information on what is known, and what is not, about suicide among veterans and active-duty military. In this podcast we cover the problem of suicide in the military and how behavior analysis may have a role to play.

Show Highlights:

- Why the term “commit” in regards to suicide is loaded language with a very negative connotation. Saying “took his own life” or similar phrase is more sensitive to those close to the event.

- The fact that suicide, as a phenomenon, has never been known to reduce in the number of deaths per year, as long as it has been studied.

- The extensive amount of literature on suicide, and why much of it provides very limited actionable information regarding prevention.

- How suicide, like other severe behavior problems, can be understood as something shaped over time and our focus should be on all significant factors that precede it.
