Intended for the general reader, this masterful compilation probes
the psychology of suicide, revealing the latest research and
spotlighting global efforts to reduce the million suicide deaths
each year. Exceeding previously available studies in both scope and
depth, the two-volume Suicide: A Global Issue explores and explains
both why suicides-and suicide attempts-occur and what can be done
to prevent them. The first volume, Understanding, considers factors
that may play into the choice to take one's life, discussing forces
as varied as culture, psychology, religion, and biology. The second
volume, Prevention, covers steps that can be taken to prevent
suicide, whether individually or by society as a whole. Articles by
widely respected experts consider questions such as why people kill
themselves, why some countries have extremely high suicide rates,
and whether the treatment of suicidal individuals actually prevents
them from taking their lives. Each chapter presents incidents,
research, and actions from nations around the globe, as well as
from the United States. Breaks new ground in drawing together
current research on the incidence of suicide, theories as to why
suicide occurs, cultural differences, and efforts at prevention
Explains and analyzes the effectiveness of prevention programs from
psychotherapy and suicide prevention centers/hotlines to programs
in schools, restriction of lethal methods, and national and
international campaigns and programs Includes cultural, religious,
philosophical, and medical/psychiatric/psychological views on
suicide Discusses the ever-controversial topic of assisted suicide

Responding to the general confusion in the United States about the
proper role of religion in politics, five distinguished scholars
demonstrate in original essays how our nation's founders carefully
and clearly defined the appropriate relationship between church and
state, and how we can adapt our current political institutions to
reflect the founders' wisdom. Also, includes a collection of the
most important statements by the Founders that address religion's
role in American political life.
