The author provides the language, not only for understanding the suicidal mind, but for understanding oneself and the psychological needs of the suicidal individual. Presenting cases that reveal the inner workings of the suicidal mind, Shneidman offers an insight to help understand and prevent suicide.
Why do people take their own lives? Is there anything others can do to stop them? How can we tell when a person is suicidal? In this book, Edwin Schneidman looks carefully at the psychological processes that lead to suicide and discusses suicide as a product of psychological pain and thwarted psychological needs. With suicide (and especially youth suicide) seemingly increasing throughout the Western world today, this book represents a forthright attempt to revitalize the topic and demonstrate that everyone can detect and stop potential suicides from occuring.
