In Critical Suicidology, a team of international scholars,
practitioners, and people directly affected by suicide argue that
the field of suicidology has become too focused on the biomedical
paradigm: a model that pathologizes distress and obscures the
social, political, and historical contexts that contribute to human
suffering. The authors take a critical look at existing research,
introduce the perspectives of those who have direct personal
knowledge of suicide and suicidal behaviour, and propose
alternative approaches that are creative and culturally sensitive.
In the right hands, this book could save lives.
