商品簡介
Authors Rogers and Lester (for whom no background is given) argue against the opinion that suicidology, the study of suicide, is over because little new information has surfaced in the field for several years. The book offers both a critique of the field and suggestions for what is required in the field in the future. Topics include psychological and psychiatric research on suicide, sociological and anthropological perspectives, attitudes toward suicide, assessing suicide risk, suicide notes and other personal narratives, studies of the suicide personality, and research fads.
