Analysing Suicide - Reality Myth Fallacy

<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(36 36 36 1)>My book examines recent literature on suicide in Northern Ireland Ireland Great Britain and elsewhere in the context of my life experience my MSc/PhD university dissertations and ongoing social discourse and public/political narratives about suicide prevention and assisted suicide. I question the validity of a necessary link between suicide and mental disorder as defined by psychiatry. I contend that suicide represents a multidimensional multifactorial reality characterised by many complex factors: individual instability social context and historical political and cultural contingency. I argue that each lethal suicidal event is unique in its time place situation and circumstance such that its preliminary actuality may remain largely unknown. </span></p><p class=ql-align-justify></p><p></p>
