Suicide

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The author suggests that behaviour is not understood when it is isolated from social systemic contexts. Suicidal behaviour is often regarded as "impulsive". However, perhaps such behaviour only appears impulsive when regarded by an observer without a satisfactory theoretical understanding of such acts. The book attempts to show how persons who are suicidal make sense of what they do.
