Critical Suicidology: Transforming Suicide Research and Prevention for the 21th Century

Résumé

Globally, suicides account for a significant number of premature deaths every year. Traditional approaches to research and prevention are not working for everyone, but why is this? And what can be done about it? In textitCritical Suicidology, a team of international scholars, practitioners, and people directly affected by suicide argue that mainstream research models obscure the social, political, and historical contexts that contribute to human suffering. Combining personal experience with theoretical insights, this rich volume challenges the current orthodoxy governing suicide prevention in the West. Going beyond critique, it proposees alternative approaches that are creative, socially just, and culturally responsive. This book is a must-read for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers working in mental health services and reltated disciplines and for anyone who wants to make suicide prevention not simply a goal but an achievement.
