This book is intended for anyone with either an interest in suicide
or suicidal behaviour. It is not aimed solely at the professional
psychotherapist but at a broad range of professionals who encounter
suicidal people in their work. It is also intended for those of us
who have been touched by suicide personally. The book approaches
suicide from the point of view of the suicidal state of mind and is
intended to help us understand more about this condition. In its
essence suicide is examined as a largely unconscious aggressive act
having its roots in a perceived or real experience of thwarted
childhood needs. The wounds of the suicidal person are often long
held and deep. The suicidal person is pursued by haunting losses
and the suicidal act comes from deep disturbance created by this
and from the idea of death as an acting out of some form of
suicidal fantasy. The quasi delusional and split quality of the act
is examined - namely that suicide is both an act for and against
the self.
