ESSSB 2010 - European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour which in its 13th edition (ESSSB13)

we are proud to invite you to the European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour which in its 13th edition (ESSSB13) will be hosted in Rome, Italy, a city where Past Ages seem to revive, overlap and melt into Modern Living and Transcultural Exchange, thus constituting the Ideal Ground for the theme of the Symposium which is “Integration of Knowledge for an Interdisciplinary Approach to Suicidology and Suicide Prevention”. By keeping the legacy and sharing the common spirit of the previous and successful ESSSB symposia, ESSSB13 is in fact looking forward to novel perspective into the study of Suicidal Behaviour.

Basic components of studies on suicide (research, prevention, treatment) have undergone consistent progress, but given the peculiar nature of each one, their mutual dialogue and definitive exchange has proved to be scarce.

Inspiration of the 13th ESSSB is then to investigate possible modalities and paths of communication of these instances, favoring aggregation and interplay not only of single minds, but also at a more complex level of structurization of suicidology, with the ultimate scope of harmonizing its articulate development.

We therefore invite you to join us and celebrate the ESSSB13 encounter of suicidologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians and any other person who is interested in Suicide, Science and Care.

ESSSB13 is jointly organized by the Sapienza University of Rome, the University of Molise, and the D’Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy. ESSSB13 is dedicated to the memory of Professor Andrej Marušič (1965-2008), Slovenian Suicidologist and President of the 11th ESSSB.
