Description

Drawing on philosophy, psychology and systems theory, this work presents a fresh, new approach to understanding suicide. It presents fourteen common characteristics of suicide, each of which is carefully described in both theoretical and clinical terms. Included is a section on the prevention of suicide and a detailed case study, illustrating the cognitive aspects of suicide using the text of Melville's great psychological novel, "Moby Dick".
