The Suicidal Mind
Paperback Engels 1998 9780195118018Samenvatting
Suicide haunts our literature and our culture, claiming the lives of ordinary people and celebrities alike. In our century, psychology and psychiatry alike have attempted to understand, prevent, and medicalize these phenomena. But they have failed, argues Dr. Edwin Shneidman, because they have lost sight of the plain language, the ordinary everyday words, the pain and frustrated psychological needs of the suicidal individual.
In this landmark and elegantly written book, Dr. Edwin Shneidman provides the language, not only for understanding the suicidal mind, but for understanding ourselves. Presenting cases (recounted in the patients' own words) that reveal the inner workings of the suicidal mind, he offers a wealth of insights to help understand and to prevent suicide.
