Dr. Robert Canning is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating suicidal patients. In this interview, he talks about the skills we clinicians need to learn in order to assess and treat this population. This interview is part of a series that covers the American Association of Suicidology's conference, which is taking place in Portland, Oregon, throughout this week.

I will be posting daily interviews and tomorrow, I will attend the Healing after Suicide Loss Summit.
