Suicidal Behaviour: Underlying dynamics is a wide ranging
collection of articles that builds upon an earlier volume by the
same editor (Suicidal Behaviour: Assessment of people-at-risk,
2010) and delves deeper into the dynamics of suicide by
synthesizing significant psychological and interdisciplinary
perspectives. The volume brings together varied conceptualizations
by scholars across disciplines from around the globe, thereby
adding on to the available theoretical understandings as well as
providing research based inputs for practitioners in the field of
suicidal behaviour. This book contains sixteen chapters divided
into two broad sections. The volume opens with a discussion about
the Theoretical Underpinnings of suicidal behaviour spread through
the initial eight chapters that conceptualize the phenomenon from
different vantage points of genetics, personality theory, cognitive
and affective processes, stress and assessment theories. The second
section brings in the Varied Research Evidences and Assessment
Perspectives from different populations and groups. Building upon
the theoretical foundations the chapters in this section discuss
the nuances of dealing with suicidal behaviours among sexual
minority populations, alcoholics, military personnel, and within in
specific socio-cultural groups. The section closes with an intense
focus on a significant issue encountered often in clinical
practice, that of assessment of suicide risk, and ways of resolving
the cultural, ethical and legal dilemmas.
