Product Description

Review

"An important book that deserves a wide readership" Simon Armson, Chief Execuive, The Samaritans


Product Description

A survey of the whole problem of suicide and attempted suicide, presenting the relevant facts and theories against a background of current psychotherapeutic thinking and practice. The book begins with an introduction providing historical and cultural perspectives. The core of the book includes information about suicide numbers, methods and related variables - age, sex, social class - together with cultural and historical comparisons, showing how rates change with other changing features of society. It describes the main theories about causes and motives - sociological, biological, psychodynamic - and combines these perspectives in an account showing among other things the importance of certain patterns of autobiographical memory. It discusses data on behaviour that can be predicted or prevented. The book ends by discussing wider issues: can suicide be rational?; the search for meaning; the aftermath of suicide and how the suicide survivor can be helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended read, 28 Dec 2008
By Mr. J. S. Middleton "Jamie S Middleton" (Rotherham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book to be a valuable source of knowledge to the difficult subject of suicide, and attempted suicide. It contents include an exploration of the history of suicide, psychiatric factors, the role of the media and interventions to reduce suicidal risks. Social risk factors which are closely related to suicide are also explored.

It is well presented,and easy to read.

I would recommend this book to those who work with people who are/may be suicidal.
