Book Synopsis Phenomenology of Suicide by : Maurizio Pompili
Download or read book Phenomenology of Suicide written by Maurizio Pompili and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help the reader to understand the suicidal mind from a phenomenological point of view, shedding light on the feelings of suicidal individuals and also those of clinicians. In accordance with the importance that the phenomenological approach attaches to subjectivity and sense of self as the starting points for knowledge, emphasis is placed on the need for the clinician to focus on the subjective experiences of the at-risk individual, to set aside prior assumptions, judgments, or interpretations, and to identify ways of bridging gaps in communication associated with negative emotions. The vital importance of empathy is stressed, drawing attention to the insights offered by neuroimaging studies and the role of mirror neurons in social cognition. It is widely acknowledged that when a clinician meets a person who wants to die by suicide, the clinician does not fully understand what is going on inside the mind of that individual. This book recognizes that any approach to suicide prevention must promote understanding of suicidal thoughts and feelings. The awareness that it fosters and the innovative perspectives that it presents will appeal to a wide readership.

Book Synopsis Understanding the Complex Phenomenon of Suicide: From Research to Clinical Practice by : Domenico De Berardis
Download or read book Understanding the Complex Phenomenon of Suicide: From Research to Clinical Practice written by Domenico De Berardis and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suicide is undoubtedly a worldwide major challenge for the public health. It is estimated that more than 150,000 persons in Europe die as a result of suicide every year and in several European countries suicide represents the principal cause of death among young people aged 14–25 years. It is true that suicide is a complex (and yet not fully understood) phenomenon and may be determined by the interaction between various factors, such as neurobiology, personal and familiar history, stressful events, sociocultural environment, etc. The suicide is always a plague for the population at risk and one of the most disgraceful events for a human being. Moreover, it implies a lot of pain often shared by the relatives and persons who are close to suicide subjects. Furthermore, it has been widely demonstrated that the loss of a subject due to suicide may be one of the most distressing events that may occur in mental health professionals resulting in several negative consequences, such as burnout, development of psychiatric symptoms and lower quality of life and work productivity. All considered, it is clear that the suicide prevention is a worldwide priority and every effort should be made in order to improve the early recognition of imminent suicide, manage suicidal subjects, and strengthen suicide prevention strategies. In our opinion, the first step of prevention is the improvement of knowledge in the field: this was the aim of this present special issue on Frontiers in Psychiatry. In this special issue, several papers have contributed to the suicide knowledge from several viewpoints and we hope that this will contribute to improve and disseminate knowledge on this topic.
Book Synopsis Suicide Risk Assessment and Prevention by : Maurizio Pompili
Download or read book Suicide Risk Assessment and Prevention written by Maurizio Pompili and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-19 with total page 1479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores suicide prevention perspectives from around the world, considering both professionals’ points of view as well as first-person accounts from suicidal individuals. Scholars around the globe have puzzled over what makes a person suicidal and what is in the minds of those individuals who die by suicide. Most often the focus is not on the motives for suicide, nor on the phenomenology of this act, but on what is found from small cohorts of suicidal individuals. This book offers a tentative synthesis of a complex phenomenon, and sheds some light on models of suicide that are less frequently encountered in the literature. Written by international experts, it makes a valuable contribution to the field of suicidology that appeals to a wide readership, from mental health professionals to researchers in suicidology and students.
Book Synopsis The Paradox of Suicide and Creativity by : M.F. Alvarez

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If creativity is the highest expression of the life impulse, why do creative individuals who have made lasting contributions to the arts and sciences so often end their lives? M.F. Alvarez addresses this central paradox by exploring the inner lives and works of eleven creative visionaries who succumbed to suicide. Through a series of case studies, Alvarez shows that creativity and suicide are both attempts to authenticate and resolve personal catastrophes that have called into question the most basic conditions of human existence.
Book Synopsis THE "I" OF THE STORM by : David Lester
Download or read book THE "I" OF THE STORM written by David Lester and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We cannot explain why people kill themselves. There are no necessary or sufficient causes for suicide, so rather than explaining suicide (looking for causes), perhaps we can understand suicide, at least in one individual, a phenomenological approach. This book begins by examining the diaries from eight individuals who killed themselves. Using qualitative analyses, supplemented in some cases by quantitative analyses, Lester seeks to uncover the unique thoughts and feelings that led these individuals to take their own lives. Lester has also studied suicide notes, the poems of those who died by suicide (both famous poets and unpublished poets), the letters written by suicides, blogs and twitter feeds, and one tape recording of a young man who killed himself just an hour or so after he recorded the tape. This book will give you insights into the “I” of the storm, the suicidal mind. David Lester has PhD’s from Cambridge University (UK) and Brandeis University (USA). He is a former President of the International Association for Suicide Prevention and a leading scholar on suicide, murder, the fear of death and other topics and thanatology.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Suicide and Self-Injury by : Matthew K. Nock
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Suicide and Self-Injury written by Matthew K. Nock and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suicide is a perplexing human behavior that remains among the leading causes of death worldwide, responsible for more deaths each year than all wars, genocide, and homicide combined. Although suicide and other forms of self-injury have baffled scholars and clinicians for thousands of years, the past few decades have brought significant leaps in our understanding of these behaviors. This volume provides a comprehensive summary of the most important and exciting advances in our understanding of suicide and self-injury and our ability to predict and prevent it. Comprised of a formidable who's who in the field, the handbook covers the full spectrum of topics in suicide and self-injury across the lifespan, including the classification of different self-injurious behaviors, epidemiology, assessment techniques, and intervention. Chapters probe relevant issues in our society surrounding suicide, including assisted suicide and euthanasia, suicide terrorism, overlap between suicidal behavior and interpersonal violence, ethical considerations for suicide researchers, and current knowledge on survivors of suicide. The most comprehensive handbook on suicide and self-injury to date, this volume is a must-read text for graduate students, fellows, academic and research psychologists, and other researchers working in the brain and behavioral sciences.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of Suicide by : C A Soper
Download or read book The Evolution of Suicide written by C A Soper and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses current research on the phenomenology of suicide, that is, to focus on suicide as a phenomenon affecting a unique individual with unique motives for the suicidal act. To explore this topic, the author looks at various contexts in order to understand in different perspectives. The search for suicide risk factors, variables that indicate an increased likelihood for suicide independent of diagnosis, has been undertaken by a number of researchers and clinicians.

Moreover, the contribution by world leaders in the prevention of suicide makes this book a peculiar contribution to the understanding of suicide.
Book Synopsis Phenomenology Of Suicide In Terms Of Brain Chemistry In The Group Of Psychiatrically Hospitalized Patients by : Tytus Koweszko

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: Suicide is a complex interdisciplinary subject engaging different aspects of human functioning. One of the approaches is the phenomenological understanding of suicide which considers suicidal impulses as a result of individuals' suffering, not necessarily indicated with specific psychiatric disorders. At the same time there is evidence that suicide is associated with brain chemistry disturbances as oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine if oxidative stress components are related to suicide ideations.METHOD: The study included subjects aged 18u201364 (N=48) recruited at the Clinic of Psychiatry, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland. The participants of the study had different psychiatric diagnosis. Blood specimens were collected from subjects and measured for oxidative stress biomarkers: nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). Subjects were divided in two groups: with (N=31) and without (N=17) suicide ideations in the last three months and compared by the Mann-Whitney U test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test and Wald-Wolfowitz runs test. Moreover the Spearman's rho correlations between oxidative stress components (NOx and AOPP) and the intensity of suicide ideations in the last month were assessed. The researchers used Columbia Severity Suicide Scale for suicidality assessment. RESULTS: Subjects with a history of suicide ideations in the last three months had significantly higher levels of NOx and AOPP. Furthermore the levels of NOx and AOPP were both positively correlated to suicidal thoughts intensity. CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed that phenomenological aspect of suicide as suicidal ideations is consistent with oxidative stress components levels (NOx and AOPP) which play a significant role in the pathophysiology of suicide.

Download or read book The Pain of Suicide written by Dr Jo-Ann Rowland and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every suicide is an individual tragedy whose origins challenge our mental capacity. Suicide is a global phenomenon. Each year there are over 800,000 reported suicides worldwide and that is expected to increase to over 1.5 million by 2020. More people attempt suicide than die from suicide. Family-member survivors and communities are left with many unanswered questions, not understanding why the person chose to commit suicide. Persons responding to suicide and suicide attempts are very often not prepared for what they encounter and this exacerbates the problem. This book looks at the struggles of a high-risk people group and presents interventions and postventions proffered in a consultation forum.
