This book is about a new theory of suicide as cultural mimesis, or
as an idea that is internalized from culture. Written as part of a
new, critical focus in suicidology, this volume moves away from the
dominant, strictly scientific understanding of suicide as the
result of a mental disorder, and towards positioning suicide as an
anthropologically salient, community-driven phenomenon. Written by
a leading researcher in the field, this volume presents a
conception of suicide as culturally scripted, and it demonstrates
how suicide becomes a cultural idiom of distress that for some can
become a normative option.
