Abstract:
BackgroundImplementation intentions link triggers for self-harm with coping skills and appear to create an automatic tendency to invoke coping responses when faced with a triggering situation.AimsTo test the effectiveness of implementation intentions in reducing suicidal ideation and behaviour in a high-risk group.MethodTwo hundred and twenty-six patients who had self-harmed were randomised to: (a) forming implementation intentions with a ‘volitional help sheet’; (b) self-generating implementation intentions without help; or (c) thinking about triggers and coping, but not forming implementation intentions. We measured self-reported suicidal ideation and behaviour, threats of suicide and likelihood of future suicide attempt at baseline and then again at the 3-month follow-up.ResultsAll suicide-related outcome measures were significantly lower at follow-up among patients forming implementation intentions compared with those in the control condition (ds>0.35). The volitional help sheet resulted in fewer suicide threats (d = 0.59) and lowered the likelihood of future suicide attempts (d = 0.29) compared with patients who self-generated implementation intentions.ConclusionsImplementation intention-based interventions, particularly when supported by a volitional help sheet, show promise in reducing future suicidal ideation and behaviour.

Abstract:
The article considers structural, processual and causal aspects of suicides. Problems of child philosophizing, specifics of adolescence in the context of suicide discussed. The concept of suicidal risk clarified and its diagnostic possibilities shown. Identified that according to parents opinion significant role belongs to conflicts and personality traits among causal factors of suicidal risk. According to adolescents, suicidal intentions are associated with the subjective impossibility to create satisfactory continuation of life. It has been found that suicidal risks and types of suicidal behavior in late adolescence differ depending on age, worldview, gender and personality traits.

Abstract:
The article presents an overview of modern foreign studies, which aim to study the psychological, somatic and psychosomatic risks of suicidal behavior of adolescents, and, as an empirical illustration, results of the study of psychological and psychosomatic correlates of adolescent depression and suicidality. A rather extensive list of risk factors for suicide, described in foreign literature, was reduced to four classes: somatic (psychosomatic), intrapsychological, socio-psychological, behavioral. It has been shown that the greatest association with suicidal intentions and attempts belongs to depressive states, however, this association, in most cases, is mediated by other predictors of the risk of a suicide. The results of the empirical study described the main psychosomatic dysfunctions in adolescents’ suicides, usually accompanied by asthenic states.

The predictive value of verbally expressed intentions of parasuicide was studied in 925 patients admitted after deliberate self-harm to one of the health care facilities in the county of Sør-Trøndelag, Norway. Repetition of the suicidal act was studied prospectively, and the results showed that verbally expressed intention to die at the index parasuicide did predict fatal repetition (suicide) but not nonfatal repetition (parasuicide) of the suicidal act.

Abstract:
The article highlights the current view on social and psychological determinants of youth’s suicidal behaviour. The modern science still does not have a unified point of view on suicidal behaviour. The corresponding terminology is amorphousness and its concept is uncertain. It is generally accepted that suicidal behaviour depends on many factors, has different motives and goals and exists in certain and extreme conditions. The authors present their own model of suicidal behaviour that includes the following main factors leading to suicidal behaviour: social and psychological maladaptation, deviant behaviour and unresolved intrapersonal conflicts. We have identified four groups of factors affecting young people’s social and psychological maladaptation: General psychological features of a suicider having non-pathological situational intentions, as well as people having borderline states; Personal factors; Family factors; Other life factors: a changed place of residence, study or work; negative influence of mass-media, modern literature, Internet sites with certain content, etc. A set of standardized and tested methods was selected to examine social-psychological factors of young people’s pre-suicidal and suicidal behaviour: 3 methods studying susceptibility to suicidal reactions, suicidal behaviour and the diagnosis of suicidal behaviour before its manifestation. The sample consisted of 120 young people (89 girls and 31 boys). Their families were also taken into account: 89 respondents had both parents, 31 had only one of parents. The sample was divided into three groups for comparative analysis of suicidal behaviour. The division criterion of was the suicide indicator from the Suicide Behaviour Questionnaire that was compared with the results of the Suicide Risk Test (SR-45, P.I. Yunatskevich) and the method determining propensity to suicidal behaviour (M.V. Gorskaya). The statistical methods were used to process the obtained data: Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze relations between individual psychological characteristics with suicidal behaviour; a multiple regression analysis was performed for data grouping; statistical significance was checked by the F-Fisher test. The performed empirical study has revealed that suicidal behaviour can appear because of deteriorated personal psychological health - anxiety, frustration, aggression and changes in attitudes toward life and death under environmental influences or because of overestimated self-concept. The respondents having suicidal intentions were characterized by severe anxiety and high frustration as the consequences of personal disappointment, inability to overcome real or imagined obstacles preventing goal achievement. Aggression was almost the same for all three examined groups, thus this indicator showed rather increased psychological activity. The highest rigidity was observed at the respondents having suicidal intentions; such rigidity was associated with complications existing during implementation of significant activities.

Abstract:
Case studies of two veterans contemplating suicide are described. Their suicidal intentions subsided as a result of a rekindling of their Christian faith. Although their Christian beliefs were awakened following their attendance at a motion picture, they both attributed the remission of their suicidal intentions to the practices of their Christian faith in their lives. Despite the favorable outcome, these findings are not generalizable to other cases.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the features of suicidal ideation of adolescents. The phenomenon of suicide as a human behavior aimed at intentional self-harm with a fatal end, self-destruction is considered. The general signs of suicidal intent are analyzed: verbal signs (notification of one's intention to others); behavioral signs (significant changes in behavior: larger indifference on their appearance, disruption of the attention process, missing school, avoidance of communication with peers); situational signs (betraying their legacy, cowardice or excessive aggression, clash with important people, disruption of relationship). As a result of empirical research, it was found that the studied adolescents are characterized by a mostly low level of anxiety, which is an indicator of the stability of the emotional state and lack of anxiety; low and medium level of frustration, and adolescents are confident, responsible, resistant to failure, are not afraid of difficulties; adolescents have an average rate of aggression, which is characterized by coming into student’s conflicts, to prove their point, using elements of aggression to assert themselves and maintain their status in the peer group; the average indicator of rigidity testifies to their stability in the actions provoked by unforeseen events; found that some adolescents clearly expressed the dominance of emotions over intellectual control in assessing the situation, readiness to respond to a traumatic situation rather emotionally than logically, existing social pessimism as a negative concept of the world, also, they are characterized by demonstrativeness (demonstration of suicidal intentions) of the willingness to attract public attention of others to themselves, their problems, to achieve compassion and awareness. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a system of socio-psychological measures to reduce suicidal ideation among adolescents.

Abstract. Five variables were investigated in the evaluation of Suicide Prevention Weeks (SPW) held in 1999, 2000, and 2001 in Québec, Canada: exposure to the campaign, previous suicide ideation, knowledge, attitudes, and intentions. After the year 2000 campaign, a telephone survey conducted on a representative sample of 1020 men revealed that only those actually exposed to the SPW had gained more knowledge of suicide facts and resources. However, the SPW did not influence attitudes or intentions to seek help. Results are not surprising, considering the low intensity of the campaign, especially in the media. Campaigns aimed at changing suicidal behaviors must be intensive.

Abstract:
Suicide mortality among the elderly is high in most Western countries. We investigated the characteristics of suicide victims 65 years or older in a nationwide psychological autopsy study, the research phase of the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland. This study population included all completed suicides (N = 1,397, of whom 211 were 65 years or older) that occurred in Finland during a 12-month research period in 1987-1988. The elderly suicide victims were found to have used violent suicide methods more often than the young. Although almost 70% of the elderly persons who had committed suicide had been in contact with health care services during the month before their death, their suicidal intentions were rarely communicated in these contacts. They had been referred to psychiatric services less often than the young, and only 8% had received adequate antidepressive medication. The fact that most elderly suicides have contact with health care services during their final month suggests a potential for suicide prevention. However, the major obstacle to this is the poor recognition of mental disorders and suicidal ideation among the elderly.

Abstract:
Background. Communication campaigns offer a viable mechanism to promote suicide prevention and reinforce mental health for U.S. veterans in midlife, a group with a high suicide burden. However, little empirical investigation of this type of messaging has been conducted, with formative campaign research conspicuously missing from the limited literature. Aims. Using the theory of planned behavior as a guide, formative research was conducted to inform the design of suicide prevention messaging by (a) describing and measuring several theoretical constructs among our audience and (b) modeling associations between constructs and intentions to seek help for suicidal behaviors and mental health more broadly. Methods. Telephone-based cross-sectional surveys were collected between 2014 and 2016 from a nationally representative sample of veterans with analyses restricted to those aged between 44 and 65 years ( n = 809). Multiple logistic regression was used to identify significant factors associated with intentions to seek help for either suicidal behaviors or mental health. Results. Perceived behavioral control was one of the largest predictors of intentions to seek help for both suicidal behaviors and mental health concerns. Descriptive norms were also significantly associated with suicide-related intentions. Data further suggest several types of attitudes (i.e., discordant beliefs, stereotypes) to consider when designing messages for this group. Discussion. This study represents one of the first efforts to document and describe theoretical constructs and their influence on intentions among veterans in midlife to contribute to the development of evidence-based messaging for veterans informed by a conceptual framework. Conclusion. Findings have important implications as the use of communication strategies for suicide prevention grows increasingly popular.

Abstract:
The intent of this study was to examine the suicidal intentions among a select group of African American male college students. The survey drew responses and information from these students within several major categories: (1) demographic and familial background, (2) personal and male modes of feeling, and (3) conditions surrounding suicidal intentions. Twelve of the students were unique in that these characteristics were outstanding compared to the expected responses of the population: more than expected (1) lived in a single room, (2) were only children, (3) were first born, (4) had self—destructiveness and loneliness in the family, (5) had a father as a suicidal model, (6) had prolonged pain when there was loss or separation, and (7) experienced spontaneous zaniness and risk taking. Therefore, further investigation might be waranted in the area of intervention on college campuses to address and process these special areas in African American males, as well as youth generally.

Abstract:
Purpose. Youth suicide and child abuse are major societal problems of the late twentieth century, with alarming rates of occurrence and significant negative effects. Prevention and treatment programs exist for students once they are identified as abuse victims or at high risk for suicide. However, the identification process is made difficult by the lack of discriminating signs and symptoms. Peers are often the first to hear about a friend's abuse or intent to suicide, but may not share that information with an adult. The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure to information on reporting personal knowledge of abuse or suicidal intention affects the inclination of middle school students to report such knowledge to adults. Procedures. Three hundred and twenty three middle school students in public school classes in San Joaquin County (California) were included in the sample. A total of 14 classes (seven control and seven experimental) were used. A questionnaire (Peer Confidant Survey) developed to measure students' inclination to report peer disclosures was used in the study. During the study the questionnaire was administered three times to each classroom: pre-training, immediately following training and one month after completion of the training. The Peer Confidant training for the experimental group consisted of information on discrimination of disclosures, listening skills, training on whom to tell and what to tell, and discussion of what constitutes being a friend (not betraying a confidence versus reporting). Findings. Results of the study suggested that middle school students are already inclined to report knowledge of abuse and suicidal intent among their peers to adults. They also demonstrated the ability to discriminate between reportable and non-reportable disclosures. After exposure to the training program designed to increase inclination to report knowledge of abuse and suicidal intent, students appeared to temporarily increase their inclination to report knowledge of suicidal intent but not knowledge of abuse. No significant group differences were found among sixth grade, eighth grade, special education and gifted students. Implications of the study and areas for further research are discussed.

Tai reiškia, kad 25 (3,6 %) tiriamieji ir sąmoningai save žaloja, ir turi savižudiškų ketinimų. Tiriamųjų amžius nuo 12 iki 19 metų. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, jog paaugliai yra labiau linkę save žalojant turėti savižudiškų ketinimų, nei tie, kurie savęs nežaloja, tačiau turi savižudiškų ketinimų. Tik sąmoningai save žalojantys paaugliai be savižudiškų ketinimų vartoja alkoholinius gėrimus, elgiasi agresyviai ir turėjo ankstyvų lytinių santykių rečiau nei sąmoningai save žalojantys paaugliai turintys savižudiškų ketinimų, tačiau dažniau nei tik savižudiškų ketinimų turintys paaugliai. Taip pat galima pastebėti tendencijas, kad tik sąmoningai save žalojantys paaugliai be savižudiškų ketinimų rūko ir vartoja narkotines medžiagas rečiau nei sąmoningai save žalojantys paaugliai turintys savižudiškų ketinimų, tačiau dažniau nei tik savižudiškų ketinimų turintys paaugliai.
The survey has been targeted to find out the peculiarity of adolescents health untoward behavior between non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal tendencies. There were 690 participants in the survey, 379 (54,9 %) boys and 311 (45,1 %) girls. 38 (5,5 %) participants were self-injurers, 13 (1,9 %) of them were non-suicidal self-injurers. 86 (12,5 %) adolescents noted to have suicidal tendencies, 61 (8,9 %) of them noted to have only suicidal tendencies without self-injuring behavior. It means that 25 (3,6 %) respondents self-injure themselves and report suicidal tendencies. The participants age was from 12 to 19 years old. The results showed that adolescents are tend to report suicidal tendencies the same time when they are self-injuring compared to those who does not self-injure and report only suicidal tendencies. Adolescents who experience non-suicidal self-injure, use alcohol, drugs, behave aggressive and have early sexual intercourse more rarely than those who self-injure and report suicidal tendencies, but more often then those, who report only suicidal tendencies. Also there can be noted the tendency, that non-suicidal sel-injurers smoke cigarettes and use drugs more rarely than those adolescents who self-injure and report suicidal tendencies, but more often then those adolescents, who report only suicidal tendencies.

Abstract:
The role of peer gatekeepers is crucial in connecting individuals at risk for suicide related behaviors to mental health service providers. However, limited research has focused on the role of peers as potential helpers for those at-risk. The current study utilized a mixed experimental and correlational design to examine predictors of female college students’ referral intentions following hypothetical interactions with peers at-risk for suicide related behavior. More specifically, the current project examined the utility of an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model of peer-referral intentions. In addition to the original TPB constructs of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control associated with referring a peer to a mental health professional, attitudes towards seeking professional help, perceived stigma associated with receiving professional psychological help, emotional competence, and symptom severity were incorporated into an extended TPB model. The sample included 284 female college students. Participants completed computer-based questionnaires both before and after the presentation of a theoretically and empirically informed vignette describing a peer who was characterized as low, moderate, or high risk for suicide related behavior. The results of this study suggest the utility of applying an extended TPB model to intentions to refer at-risk peers for mental health services. The final trimmed model, which included all of the aforementioned constructs except symptom severity, accounted for 78.9% of the variance in referral intentions. The findings indicate that, in particular, preventative interventions would likely benefit from emphasizing the role of attitudes towards receiving mental health services, attitudes towards peer referral, and subjective norms regarding peer referral, in order to maximize the role of peers as gatekeepers for college students in distress. Incorporating the findings from this study with findings from future research will hopefully lead to more informed, empirically-based interventions for enhancing peer referrals.

UA : Робота виклади на 77 сторінок, 7 рисунків. Перелік посилання включає 68 джерел. Об'єкт дослідження: суїцидальна поведінка дітей шкільного віку. Різка зміна акцентів та цінностей у суспільстві загострює і ускладнює певні кризові ситуації, які існують у житті кожної людини. Добре, якщо доросла людина має певний досвід, і може самостійно вирішити свої проблеми, або хоча б знає до кого вона може звернутися, чи в кого може спитати поради. Але що робити дитині або підлітку який опинився в складній ситуації, і не знає, що потрібно робити, коли найдорожчі люди до яких він звернувся по допомогу тільки звинувачують його самого у виникненні цих проблем, або взагалі відвертаються і не вважають що проблеми дитини є важливими і значними. Безпорадність та самотність штовхають дитину на такий важкий крок як суїцид. Тільки після цього у людей, які оточували цю дитину виникають питання про те, що саме можна було зробити щоб уникнути цієї ситуації. Окрім суїцидальних спроб значного розповсюдження в підлітковому віці набули внутрішні форми суїцидальної поведінки – суїцидальні наміри, які завжди в широкій чи згорнутій формі передують самогубству. Внутрішня суїцидальна поведінка або суїцидальні наміри включають суїцидальні тенденції (наміри, задуми, в яких присутній компонент рішення і продумується план самогубства). Наукова новизна одержаних результатів дослідження полягає у комплексному підході до профілактики суїцидальної поведінки, що включає не лише інформацію по суїцидальну поведінку в загалі і окремо, а й пропозицію про проведення в школі програми профілактики суїцидальної поведінки дітей шкільного віку.
EN : The work is presented on 77 pages, 7 figures. The list of references includes 68 sources. Object of research: suicidal behavior of school-age children. A sharp change of accents and values in society exacerbates and complicates certain crisis situations that exist in everyone's life. It is good if an adult has some experience and can solve their own problems, or at least knows who to turn to or who to ask for advice. But what to do to a child or teenager who is in a difficult situation, and does not know what to do when the dearest people to whom he turned for help only blame him for these problems, or turn away and do not think that the child's problems are important and significant. Helplessness and loneliness push a child to take such a difficult step as suicide. Only then do the people around this child question what exactly could have been done to avoid this situation. In addition to suicide attempts, internal forms of suicidal behavior have become widespread in adolescence - suicidal intentions, which always precede suicide in a broad or condensed form. Internal suicidal behavior or suicidal intentions include suicidal tendencies (intentions, plans in which there is a component of the decision and a suicide plan). The scientific novelty of the results of the study lies in a comprehensive approach to the prevention of suicidal behavior, which includes not only information on suicidal behavior in general and individually, but also a proposal to conduct a school program to prevent suicidal behavior in school children.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.
As investigações sobre os comportamentos auto lesivos incidem em grande maioria sobre estudos comparativos entre os jovens que se envolvem em comportamentos auto lesivos sem intenção suicida e aqueles que fazem tentativas de suicídios e concentram-se no conceito tentativa de suicídio e nos “attempters” para se referirem aos participantes com ideação suicida e intenção suicida. A literatura tem sido pouco clara quanto à distinção entre sujeitos com ideação suicida e com intenção suicida, e em explicar como é que pessoas com ideação suicida passam a ter intenção suicida. Em Portugal, a informação ainda é escassa relativamente às funções das dimensões de gravidade dos comportamentos auto lesivos e, principalmente, quando se adiciona a ideação suicida e intenção de suicídio. Alguns estudos têm associado o bullying aos CAL, porém a informação ainda é parca face este assunto em Portugal. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as dimensões de gravidade dos comportamentos auto lesivos em relação à ideação e intenção suicida, e perceber que funções estão mais associadas às dimensões dos CAL, à ideação e à intenção suicida. Além disso, colocou-se uma questão de investigação relativamente ao bullying. O estudo incluiu 238 participantes de contexto escolar e clínico, dos 13 aos 23 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos a partir do ICAL, Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, Escala da Intenção Suicida, Questionário das Representações das Funções dos Comportamentos Auto Lesivos para Adolescentes. Os resultados mostraram evidência que suporta a existência de um continnum de gravidade dos comportamentos auto lesivos. O bullying mostrou ser uma variável importante para os CAL. As representações das funções intrapessoais foram as mais frequentes. Discutem-se estas questões no fim. A investigação oferece dados importantes no âmbito da prevenção, intervenção e investigação em psicologia.
Investigations of deliberate self-harm behaviours (DSH) focus largely on comparative studies between young people who engage in no suicide self-injury behaviours and those who attempt suicide, moreover investigations that focus on the concept of suicide attempt and “attempters” to refer to participants with suicidal ideation and suicidal intent. The literature has been unclear as to the distinction between subjects with suicidal ideation and suicidal intent, and explaining how people with suicidal ideation develop suicidal intent. In Portugal, data is still scarce regarding the functions of the severity dimensions of deliberate self-harm behaviours, and especially when suicidal ideation and suicide intent are added. Some studies have associated bullying with DSH, but information is still scarce on this subject in Portugal. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the dimensions of severity of DSH in relation to suicidal ideation and intention, and to understand which functions are more associated with DSH dimensions, ideation and suicidal intention. In addition, a research question was raised regarding bullying. Several studies have investigated the relationship between DSH behaviour and bullying, so a research question has been raised regarding this issue. This study included 238 participants from school and clinical context, aged 13 to 23 years. Data was collected from the ICAL, Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, Suicidal Intent Scale and Questionnaire of Representations about the Functions of Deliberate Self-Harm for Adolescents. The results indicated evidence that supports the existence of a continuum in severity of deliberate self-harm behaviours. Bullying resulted as an important variable for deliberate self-harm behaviours. Representations of intrapersonal functions were the most frequent. These issues are discussed at the end. The present research provides important data on prevention, intervention and research in psychology field.

This study explores how five BC First Nations women moved through suicidal ideation and intention in their youth, and what has enabled them to move beyond suicidal states. Unstructured interviews were conducted with five adult First Nations women who were self-identified as being suicidal in their youth. Phenomenological research methods (Giorgi, 1985; Moustakas, 1994) were used to guide the interview process, analysis and the interpretation of the transcribed interviews. Each interview was analyzed for themes and developed into a narrative, which was reviewed for accuracy by each participant. Twelve major themes were identified. These themes are the experience of suicidal ideation, intention, and/or attempts; the experience of an unsuccessful attempt; the experience of deciding not to attempt suicide; separation from circumstances and/or persons; the experience of connection to family, ancestry and culture; the experience of professional counselling; connection to spirituality; connection to elders and others; the experience of positive sense of self; learning from the past; setting goals, and letting go of the past. Several procedures were used to examine the validity of the analysis and interpretation, including checking the findings with the participants. The five narratives describe a variety of processes and activities of healing for these five women. Their healing was, and continues to be, facilitated by a connection to Native spirituality, through prayer, being in Nature, engaging in rituals, healing songs, sharing with others in a spiritual space, and awareness of the Creator or other spiritual symbols. Many of these activities and experiences include family, elders, and community. All participants reported that a connection to their cultural identity was an important part of their healing process. All participants report an increased sense of personal empowerment and will to live, through experiences that have increased their self-reliance, helped them to express themselves, and experience personal responsibility. These experiences have involved elders or other role models, professional counsellors, and, sometimes, family and community. These women have a positive view of themselves and life and are committed to contribute to a positive future for themselves and other First Nations people. The findings of the study seem consistent with recent research findings about healing and wellness in First Nations people in BC (McCormick, 1997; McCormick, 1994; van Uchelen, 1996). The findings appear to support the assertion that First Nations suicidality in youth is linked to a long-term cultural deterioration and the resultant loss of transmission of essential cultural beliefs, values and worldview (Brant, 1986; Duran & Duran, 1995; Ross, 1992; Royal Commission, 1995). The significance of cultural connections and Native spirituality may have implications for the intervention and prevention of suicide in First Nation youth.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores the communal uneasiness and hermeneutic impasse created by suicide in twentieth-century US American literature by women. By considering how history is negotiated through suicidal acts and how literary texts are structured by self-inflicted death, I suggest that this intentional turn is most fundamentally readable through public spaces—the Middle Passage, Hiroshima, Harlem, San Francisco's Chinatown. My first chapter focuses on Ludwig Binswanger's The Case of Ellen West: An Anthropological-Clinical Study (1944), an existential analysis of a Jewish woman who killed herself in Switzerland when she was thirty-three. Along with Anne Sexton's poetry, West's writing acts as a prelude to my subsequent chapters because it makes the body inextricable from the imagination, and both inextricable from history, community, and politics. In Chapter Two, I trace the conflation of white femininity and suicide in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century literature before turning to modern novels in which women ambiguously fall to their deaths: Nella Larsen's Passing (1929), Mary McCarthy's The Group (1963), and Fae Myenne Ng's Bone (1993). These texts disperse intention over a field of inquiry, connecting the private act of suicide to culture less through consciousness than through public space—the fictional space of falling in public and the imagined space of a reading public. In Chapter Three, I examine revolutionary suicide in Toni Morrison's Beloved (1988), Sula (1973), and Song of Solomon (1977), integrating theories from Emmanuel Levinas and Huey Newton. Self-destruction operates on two revolutionary levels: within the story, as a political form of resistance and within the narrative structure, as a discursive strategy, an axis around which meanings revolve. Finally, in Chapter Four, I sketch the political terrain covered by female suicide in Adrienne Kennedy's Funnyhouse of a Negro (1964), Velina Hasu Houston's Tea (1983), and Suzan-Lori Parks's Imperceptible Mutabilities in the Third Kingdom (1990). Each play extends the logic that I have traced in previous chapters, deploying the act of suicide to register the effects of colonialism, war, and white supremacy on contemporary American women's lives.

Abstract:
Suicide in later life is a growing public health concern that is expected to increase as the baby boom generation reach late adulthood. In the general population, older adults have rates of suicide that are higher than any other age group. The rate of suicide is particularly higher for older men. In Canada, older men between 80 and 84 years have rates of suicide approximately six times greater than older women the same age. Older adults living in the community are a sub-set of the population that are at high risk for suicide yet are not typically a focus of suicide research. As a result they remain hidden from the view of mental health promotion and suicide prevention programs until a decline in mental status brings them to the attention of formal mental health care services. Improving our understanding of suicide in later life particularly among community-residing older men can inform suicide prevention strategies. To improve this understanding, the goals of this research were three-fold: to comprehensively describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of community residing older adults who have experienced suicide-related behaviour; to describe the rates, risk and protective factors, and predictors of suicide-related behaviour among this population; and to compare these findings to a subpopulation of community-residing older adults with neurological conditions. To achieve these aims, this research utilized a secondary data analysis approach using health information from multiple linked datasets. The Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI) performed record linkages between Ontario hospital administrative data (Discharge Abstract Database, National Ambulatory Care Reporting System, and Ontario Mental Health Reporting System) and Ontario home care data (Home Care Reporting System). Home care data are sourced from the Resident Assessment Instrument–Home Care (RAI-HC) Assessment Instrument, the provincially mandated assessment tool used to identify the strengths, preferences and needs of all long-stay home care clients. The RAI-HC contains over 350 items across a wide range of domains including health, functional status and resource use. Linkages of these data records between home care and hospital sectors enabled the prospective examination of community-residing older adults with recent suicide-related behaviour. This is one of the first national and international studies to use the RAI-HC to examine older home care clients with experiences of suicide-related behaviour. The study samples consisted of Ontario home care clients aged 60 years or older assessed with the RAI-HC between April 2007 and September 2010. Clients’ initial RAI-HC assessment was examined followed by corresponding hospital records for suicide-related behaviour (N = 222,149). The prevalence of suicide-related behaviour for the sample was 1.01% (n=2,077) with higher rates for older men than women. Rates were examined across geographic regions of Ontario. Descriptive analyses demonstrated that older adults with suicide-related behaviour had more indicators of psychiatric distress (including cognitive impairment) and psychosocial dysfunction than the general home care population. Multivariate analyses showed significant effects for age and gender in the prediction of suicide-related behaviour after adjusting for risk and protective covariates. Tangible areas for intervention were revealed that may reduce future suicide risk such as managing alcohol use and dependence, managing pain, increasing positive social relationships, and reducing social isolation. Time-to-event analysis supported the multivariate regression findings. Analyses of two subpopulations of older adults with neurological conditions (dementia and Parkinson’s disease) demonstrated marked differences in suicide risk and protective factors compared to the general home care population. Findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach to suicide prevention and intervention is not appropriate for persons with these conditions, as their specific risk and protective factors need to be taken into consideration. This study based on provincial data covering the home care sector in Ontario defined high risk groups of older adults and provided evidence for risk and protective factors associated with suicide-related behaviour. Findings point to several areas that should be assessed by home care professionals to reduce risk in the older home care client population. This multi-dimensional profile of high risk older adults will assist in initiating a policy dialogue regarding the need for targeted suicide prevention strategies in Ontario’s home care sector.

Abstract:
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the direct and intentional destruction of one’s own body tissue in the absence of suicidal intent. Although NSSI itself is explicitly nonsuicidal, nearly half of individuals who engage in NSSI also engage in suicidal behavior, and nearly all individuals who engage in suicidal behavior also engage in NSSI. Moreover, recent studies suggest that NSSI is one of the strongest known predictors of future suicide attempts, even exceeding the predictive power of prior suicide attempts in some instances. In this chapter we review the basic features and correlates of NSSI, evaluate the evidence for traditional models of NSSI, and discuss how an emerging model of NSSI may provide insight into the strong association between NSSI and suicidal behavior. We conclude by recommending how to evaluate when NSSI is a behavioral emergency and by noting the most crucial future directions for research on this topic.

Abstract:
Intentional injuries affect millions of lives worldwide. The authors provide an overview of the epidemiological and preventive evidence on the relationship between substance use disorders (SUD) and intentional injuries. Emphasis is placed on suicide and intimate partner violence, as each area has received substantial research attention in relation to SUD. There is robust epidemiological evidence on the relationship between SUD, notably with alcohol use disorders, and most intentional injuries. Research has focused on the identification of factors that distinguish individuals with alcohol use disorders who are at particularly high risk for intentional injuries. Characterization of those with other drug use disorders who are at risk for engaging in intentional injuries and the role of SUD in intentional injuries has been less extensively investigated. The authors conclude with a discussion of public health approaches to the prevention of intentional injuries among individuals with SUD.

Abstract:
The doctor–patient relationship that is at issue in assisted suicide should be governed by norms of justice, expressed in rights and obligations. An autonomy-based understanding of dignity provides no basis for just regulation of interpersonal relationships and in particular grounds no right to assistance in suicide. An understanding of dignity as intrinsic to human nature does provide a basis for the doctor–patient relationship, as for all interpersonal relationships, and one that is incompatible with accommodating in law the judgment that characteristically underpins requests for assistance in suicide and that purports to justify such assistance, namely the patient’s judgment that his or her life is no longer worth living. The continued prohibition of assistance in intentional killing is one that serves both to protect citizens, including patients, and to preserve the integrity of medical professionals as healers and servants of life.

Abstract:
Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, diagrams, and exercises help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. This chapter explores the elements of murder and the partial defences which reduce a defendant’s liability to voluntary manslaughter. Murder is a common law offence that is committed when a defendant unlawfully causes the death of a person with an intention to kill or cause grievous bodily harm (GBH). Where a defendant has both the actus reus and mens rea for murder, but also has one of three special, partial defences available to him, his liability for murder is reduced to that of manslaughter (voluntary manslaughter). Loss of control, diminished responsibility, suicide pact, and infanticide are also discussed.

Abstract:
Ajax, perhaps the earliest surviving tragedy of Sophocles, presents the downfall and disgrace of a great hero whose suicide leads to his rehabilitation through the enlightened magnanimity of one of his enemies. This edition attempts to show that Sophocles offers no easy answer to the question of why Ajax falls, and no simple solution to the problem of how we ought to live so as to avoid tragedy in our own lives. The introductory chapter focuses on Ajax, as one of the major characters in Homer's Iliadand the only hero in the story that never received direct help from a god. It looks into the Odyssey, which provides the earliest reference of Sophocles being concerned with Ajax. The next chapter provides the original text of Sophocles's play about Ajax. It talks about how the play began with the death of Achilles and Ajax's desire to be rewarded with his armor. It also mentions Ajax's shame and intention of suicide after killing Agamemnon and Menelaus when they gave Achilles's armor to Oddyseus. The chapter discusses the ending of the play in which Odysseus insisted that Ajax should be buried properly. The final chapter gives the commentary for the play. It talks about how Sophocles began his plays with dialogue in order to provide the audience with information about the story. It also mentions the introduction of Odysseus and reveal of Athena as the goddess in the beginning of the play. This chapter analyses the relationships among Ajax, Odysseus, and Athena. The book presents Greek text with facing-page English translation, introduction and extensive commentary.

Abstract This chapter aims to bring together components of asylum life—the law, the leadership, staff, patients and public—to create a broad picture about what happened when things went wrong: accidents, injuries, escapes and suicides. There are drawbacks, in that much of the material is necessarily anecdotal with inconsistencies and contradictions. However, cases provide enough evidence to identify repeated patterns of attitudes, behaviours and decision making, from which conclusions can be drawn. The Board of Control indicated that it knew about asylum rough handling, but it did little to try to remedy the situation. Despite their rhetoric of good intentions, the asylum leadership frequently rationalised or denied maltreatment, thus failing to secure the most humane conditions for patients.

Abstract:
AbstractReligious and spiritual experiences can appear in mental health practice as far as they often structure what aspects of psychopathological phenomena are present, sometimes making it difficult to determine whether some experiences should be classified as symptoms of a psychiatric disorder or crises within spiritual life.We present a clinical vignette of a 62-year-old sacristan who was admitted to the Psychiatric Emergency Room for suicidal thoughts in the context of physical sequelae of a cardiac episode. He confessed that, in the process of coping with his illness, he had a distressing experience of guilt and of losing his religious faith and shared the intention to take his own life by hanging himself.Themes that emerge in the discussion include issues related to the boundaries of psychiatric diagnosis, the spiritual dimension of mental health and the values that underlie clinical decision-making regarding a suicidal individual.Incorporating religious and spiritual perspectives in the clinical assessment of patients is essential to understand individual’s framework of cultural values and social attitudes on disease.

Abstract:
Chapter 8 reviews the relationship between planning for the future and well-being. Plans are the future steps we think of to reach our goals. Specific plans bridge the gap between intention, and acting on the intention and low states of well-being and mental health, including suicidal behaviour, are related to lack of planning specificity. Highly specific behavioural plans (implementation intentions), have also been shown to promote the ability to carry through desired but difficult behaviour. Planning links to well-being in a number of ways. First, through providing a sense that future outcomes will be achieved and creating a sense of progress, plans facilitate in-the-moment positive affect. Planning also provides structure and direction, and promotes engagement in activities. Finally, having formed plans frees up resources to think on the present, and reduces intrusive thoughts about what is going to happen in the future.

Abstract:
Suicidal behaviour is defined as a conscious, intentional act that aims at terminating one’s life. Parasuicidal or deliberate self-injurious behaviour usually has no terminal intent. Self-injurious behaviour may be appellative or ambivalently motivated. Suicidal behaviour expresses the desire to reduce emotional pain or anger directed towards self or others. Moreover, abnormal perception and interpretation of one’s own situation may be causally related to suicidal behaviour. Thus, suicidal behaviour or suicide attempt usually have a communicative meaning. Childhood adversity and psychiatric disorders increase the risk for suicidal behaviour, possibly by destabilizing stress-coping abilities through gene methylation. Moreover, genes involved in serotonin turnover seem to have a specific role in suicidal behaviour. Non-verbal behaviour of suicidal individuals, particularly signs of motivational ambivalence, is an important source of information with regard to the estimation of suicide risk.

Abstract:
Beyond the clinical difficulties in treating suicidal patients, suicide is a unique ethical challenge to psychiatrists. For unlike therapy in which patients and doctors share the desirability of the treatment’s goal, suicidal patients and doctors diverge in the way they consider the value of life as such. This makes the traditional standards of informed consent, beneficence, and the ‘do not harm’ principle hard to apply. After shortly outlining the history of the philosophical attitude towards suicide, including its ‘medicalization’ in modern times, the article tackles the problem of intervention in preventing suicidal behaviour, by examining four clinical cases that are distinguished by the intention of the patient, the effectiveness of treatment, and the rationality of the motive. The following section then addresses the heated debate on physician-assisted death, which is more controversial than suicide prevention. Two real-life cases, Bouvia and Chabot, are discussed in detail. Finally, the article focuses on the unique ethical features of research of suicide behaviour and treatment.

Abstract:
This chapter, along with the next, provides a comprehensive analysis of Jihadi-Salafi jurisprudence on the question of martyrdom-seeking operations (al-amaliyyat al-istishhadiyya), often referred to as suicide bombings in the West. Central to this analysis is an application of the theories of renunciation and subjectivity underlying the Jihadi-Salafi creed and methodology. For Jihadi-Salafi jurists, what separates suicidal ideation from a martyr’s intention (niyya) is a question of one’s individual subjective identity. A martyr must not have concern for the world (dunyā) or possess any improper desire for material wealth or comfort. Instead, a martyrdom seeker must undertake the act intending it for God alone. The legal texts defending martyrdom operations, the chapter concludes, reveal that Jihadi-Salafis appropriate as their ideal precedents for these operations the actions of the Salaf as well as the actions of early Muslim renunciants such as ʿAbd Allah ibn al-Mubarak (d. 181/797), author of the earliest known work on jihad.
