Tittel

Why suicide? A psychological autopsy-study

Vitenskapelig sammendrag

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to expand the base of knowledge pertaining to the psychological vulnerability for suicide. A major aim of this study is to analyse the interplay between psychological characteristics, social context, and life events in the suicidal process. A secondary aim is to analyse the gender specific data, focusing on whether suicide appears to have different meanings for males and females.

The results from this study will have importance for preventive strategies specifically related to the health services. In addition, the data will have importance for the follow-up of those bereaved by suicide

Metode

Research questions

1) How do those bereaved by suicide reflect upon the suicidal process of the deceased? Here the main focus will be on the interplay between individual vulnerability and contextual influence on the suicide over a period of time.

2) Does the notion of entrapment, as described by the bereaved, give meaning to suicide? 

3) Suicide notes and personal communication – do they reveal the intentions behind the act?

4) Is there a separate masculine / feminine intent behind a suicide?

5) Is psychache / mental pain a significant mechanism in the suicidal process?
