Sommario/riassunto |
|
Suicide is a major cause of death worldwide, and its impact has only been fully appreciated in the past few decades. Historically it was viewed from a religious and moral perspective, but that gave way to broad sociological and biological theories, which sometimes seemed to be mutually exclusive. There is now a wealth of knowledge which has allowed an integration of these perspectives, which have varying importance in different contexts.Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library, this pocketbook provides a review of the diverse theories about suicide and places them in perspective - not all theorie |
