Summary:

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. Ethnographic and non-ethnographic approaches to suicide and self-harming are explored in this volume. With contributions from authors withr research, teaching and practical experience in the field of suicide, usually seen as a solution, a response to the collapse of hopes, plans and expectations and a complex death phenomenon surrounded by fear and taboo, this volume attempts to add to little empirical research on suicide and self-harm as the fastest growing behavioural problem amongst teenagers and adolescents.
