Antoon leenaars biography of christopher columbus

Canadian psychologist

Antoon A. Leenaars (born 1951)^[1] is a Canadian clinical and forensic psychologist practicing in Windsor, Ontario. He is known for his research on suicide.^[2]

Career

Leenaars wrote a book about suicide in the military, which he has called a growing problem.^[3] He has also dismissed the claim, often made by Canadian politicians, that the country's military has a lower suicide rate than the general population, a claim he describes as "whitewashing".^[4] Subsequent research by the Canadian Forces themselves supported Leenaars' claim.

In April 2016, "Key Findings from 2013 Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey" was published in a peer-reviewed journal, The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry.^[5] Not only suicide, but suicidal attempts, and suicidal ideation were found to be high (above the general population), as were PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other costs of service.^[6]
