This book explains why suicide can be alluring to a person aiming
to stop his or her traumatic pain-whether its source is bullying,
sexual assault, war combat, or other PTSD-invoking events-and
details approaches that can prevent suicide. Suicide has been a
taboo topic in Western culture. The mere mention of suicide sparks
reactive responses that include medical, moral, spiritual, and
religious debates. As a result, the authors open an important
discussion here, offering an honest and non-judgmental examination
of the many aspects involved in the nature of suicide, explaining
that above all, people need to learn how to support those
struggling with suicidal thoughts or to intercept their own
suicidal thinking. The book also includes an extensive review and
evaluation of the many available mental health treatments. Special
consideration is given to military suicides. U.S. soldier suicides
exceed one per day and continue to rise in all military branches,
while veteran suicide rates are even higher, averaging 17 per day.
Communities, families, veterans, and service members are in need of
tools and insights for coping with, navigating, and exposing the
suicidal attitudes affecting many current and former members of the
military. Incorporates academic research, media coverage, and the
authors' personal experiences Includes topics associated with forms
of suicide not widely addressed in other books, including
evolutionary psychology, traumatic brain injury, prescription drug
side-effects, and shamanism Addresses suicide in the general
population as well as within the cadre of some of the nation's
newest veterans-those who served in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars
