Download or read book Suicide Prohibition written by Thomas Szasz and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-12 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Western thought, suicide has evolved from sin to sin-and-crime, to crime, to mental illness, and to semilegal act. A legal act is one we are free to think and speak about and plan and perform, without penalty by agents of the state. While dying voluntarily is ostensibly legal, suicide attempts and even suicidal thoughts are routinely punished by incarceration in a psychiatric institution. Although many people believe the prevention of suicide is one of the duties the modern state owes its citizens, Szasz argues that suicide is a basic human right and that the lengths to which the medical industry goes to prevent it represent a deprivation of that right. Drawing on his general theory of the myth of mental illness, Szasz makes a compelling case that the voluntary termination of one’s own life is the result of a decision, not a disease. He presents an in-depth examination and critique of contemporary antisuicide policies, which are based on the notion that voluntary death is a mental health problem, and systematically lays out the dehumanizing consequences of psychiatrizing suicide prevention. If suicide be deemed a problem, it is not a medical problem. Managing it as if it were a disease, or the result of a disease, will succeed only in debasing medicine and corrupting the law. Pretending to be the pride of medicine, psychiatry is its shame.

Download or read book American Suicide written by Howard I. Kushner and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the nineteenth-century physician, the moral issues that suicide raised could not be isolated from its constitutional components. Thus, those who exhibited suicidal tendencies were subjected to an amalgamation of pharmacological, social, and psychological interventions, which practioners labeled the "moral treatment." By the 1890s, however, the consensus about the causes of suicide became unglued as a bacteriological medicine and the rise of the social sciences jointly served to call into question eclectic diagnoses. The goal of American Suicide is to demonstrate how the apparent contradictions among sociological, psychoanalytic, and neurobiological explanations of the etiology of suicide may be resolved. Only througha reintegration of culture, psychology, and biology can we begin to construct a satisfactory answer to the questions first raised by Durkheim, Freud, and Kraepelin.

Book excerpt: “[A] fascinating read... Contrary to what the title might suggest, this is an upbeat exploration of suicide with a positive message.” --Jeanine Connor, Therapy Today, December, 2018 This thought-provoking volume offers a distinctly human evolutionary analysis of a distinctly human phenomenon: suicide. Its ‘pain and brain’ model posits animal adaptations as the motivator for suicidal escape, and specific human cognitive adaptations as supplying the means , while also providing a plausible explanation for why only a relatively small number of humans actually take their own lives. The author hypothesizes two types of anti-suicide responses, active and reactive mechanisms prompted by the brain as suicide deterrents. Proposed as well is the intriguing prospect that mental disorders such as depression and addiction, long associated with suicidality, may serve as survival measures. Among the topics covered: · Suicide as an evolutionary puzzle. · The protection against suicide afforded to animals and young children. · Suicide as a by-product of pain and human cognition. · Why psychodynamic defenses regulate the experiencing of painful events. · Links between suicidality and positive psychology. · The anti-suicide role of spiritual and religious belief. In raising and considering key questions regarding this most controversial act, The Evolution of Suicide will appeal to researchers across a range of behavioral science disciplines. At the same time, the book’s implications for clinical intervention and prevention will make it useful among mental health professionals and those involved with mental health policy.

Book excerpt: AT first sight a book on suicide would not seem attractive to the average reader, and yet, as treated of by Dr. O'Dea, the subject proves to be full of interest. An understanding of the psychology of suicide-of all crime, indeed-is of great practical importance to society. The appearance of a work like the one before us, shows a growing recognition of the importance of such a study. In all ages suicide has had a literature, although it has been dealt with in a very different spirit at different periods of the world's history. Rig-Veda, the Hindu sacred book, by a corruption of its original text, enjoined the self-sacrifice of the widows; the Greek exponents of Stoicism and Epicureanism were the advocates and panegyrists of suicide; among the Christian Fathers, St. Cyprian upheld it for martyrdom, St. Jerome commended it for the preservation of chastity, while St. Augustine denounced it as altogether sinful; Donne, Dean of St. Paul's, in the seventeenth century, became its apologist; Montaigne reviewed it in his essays; Hume defended it in a special treatise; Rousseau devoted to it two letters of his "Nouvelle Heloise"; Dante consigned its victims to the seventh circle of hell. These, and many other facts of great interest, are brought out in the historical sketch which forms the first part of the book of Dr. O'Dea. Esquirol, Falret, De Boismond, Durand, Fardel, Maudsley, and many others, have written of suicide in its relation to insanity. Dr. O'Dea that suicide is, per se, no more evidence cf insanity than crime against the lives and properties of others. Suicides may be either sane or insane. Of the total of suicides, at least one third are caused by manifest lunacy, while another third, or perhaps even a larger proportion, are due to latent insanity. Morselli, of Turin, has recently published a volume, in which the statistical method is applied with great force and ingenuity to the solution of many of the vexed problems of suicide. This work appeared too late to be referred to by Dr. O'Dea. According to Dr. O'Dea, the most important of the special causes of suicide are included in the following list: age, sex, hereditary influence, insanity, imitation, education, literature, domestic troubles, love troubles, intoxicants, financial losses and embarrassments, occupation, habitation, race and nationality, and atmospheric and climatic influences. His points are enforced by charts and tables. Under the personal causes of suicide, he discusses various organic diseases which lead to it, the effects of temperament or mental condition, and the relation of suicide to insanity, to which we have already referred. He holds that attempts at suicide should be punished by the law, but believes that the most efficacious means for the prevention of suicide will be found in religious and moral training, and in medical treatment. The book is a valuable contribution to the science of to-day. -"Penn Monthly," Volume 14
