Berman to become a Suicidologist, when he was invited to join a panel at the 3rd annual meeting of the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) in 1971 and met 'Dr. Karl' Menninger, the keynote speaker, Ed Shneidman and Norman Farberow. More than 50 years later, inclusive of presidencies of both the AAS and the International Association for suicide Prevention (IASP), the directorship on the National Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide, 9 books and more than 175 published articles and book chapters, the study and prevention of suicide have been an almost lifelong passion.

AAS brings together clinicians, crisis centres, prevention professionals, researchers, survivors of suicide loss, and suicide attempt survivors. The association programmes include an annual conference, a professional journal, training, and accreditation programmes, psychological autopsy training, and dissemination of resources and information. AAS recognizes the outstanding achievements of individuals in the field of suicidology and presents awards annually for research, service, and career milestones. In recent years, AAS has increased its partnerships and collaborations with organizations whose missions and target audience overlap with AAS.

The SRF assigns a level of suicide risk that is intended to inform decisions about triage, treatment, management, and preventive interventions. However, there is little published about how to stratify and formulate suicide risk, what are the criteria for assigning levels of risk, and how triage and treatment decisions are correlated with levels of risk. The salient clinical issues that define an SRF are reviewed and modeling is suggested for an SRF that might guide clinical researchers toward the refinement of an SRF process.
