But I can see some problems based on the limited amount you posted. (Sorry, not feeling well and can't read the whole thing right now...)
The biggest issue I have with the results is not knowing whether or not those suicides had had any sort of treatment for the childhood trauma.
That's my current hobbyhorse, by the way -- we know that childhood trauma causes damage. I want to know how much it can be healed through treatment -- and I want to know what sorts of treatment will help most.
Thank you for posting this -- I'll try to read the study later, because it does sound interesting.
