 * __ SUICIDE __**

** How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me: One Person's Guide to Suicide Prevention by ** Susan Rose Blauner //Published:// 2003 Self-help How I Stayed Alive… is like a Fodor’s guide that gets you from the depths of the hell of depression to the paradise of a balanced life.

** Suicide by ** Emile Durkheim //Published:// 2002 There would be no need for sociology if everyone understood the social frameworks within which we operate. That we do have a connection to the larger picture is largely thanks to the pioneering thinker mile Durkheim. He recognized that, if anything can explain how we as individuals relate to society, then it is suicide: Why does it happen? What goes wrong? Why is it more common in some places than others? In seeking answers to these questions, Durkheim wrote a work that has fascinated, challenged and informed its readers for over a hundred years. Far-sighted and trail-blazing in its conclusions, Suicide makes an immense contribution to our understanding to what must surely be one of the least understandable of acts.

** The Savage God - A study of suicide by ** Al Alvarez //Published:// 2002 A beautifully written book, full of poetic truths. It adds a new dimension to the perspective of suicide
