Abstract

Suicide is not well understood - leading to unrealistic expectations about the prevention of this behaviour. We have failed to examine suicide across history and accept the ubiquity of suicide around the world. We have also failed to properly examine the influence of sociological, cultural and economic factors on self-killing. A major reconsideration is essential.
