Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This perspective article examines the limitations of applying Western-developed suicide prevention models, such as CBT, to East Asian contexts characterized by collectivist values and shame-honor dynamics. It argues that unadapted individualistic frameworks may overlook specific barriers to help-seeking, including stigma and family burden perceptions. The authors propose a shift toward culturally grounded interventions that integrate indigenous narratives rather than relying on superficial adaptations.
