December 18, 2016 //  by Tony White

We don’t like it but we can understand the death of a loved one by accident or illness. However the death of a loved one by suicide leaves us more puzzled.

The car as a suicide attempt

August 10, 2016 //  by Tony White

This would suggest the statistics on suicide are underestimated, the rates of suicide could be much higher than reported if one considers the possibility or “car suicides” instead of car accidents.

Magical thinking about death

August 7, 2016 //  by Tony White

June 28, 2016 //  by Tony White

As a result we can see what was originally a phobia, upon closer examination is not a phobia. It is about what the person feels he can’t control or what he desires in his personality.

Deliberate suicide risk

June 20, 2016 //  by Tony White

There needs to be a change in the current legislation which allows for a category of suicidal person not to be reported in a mandatory way. If this should happen then this group of every unhappy people who are feeling very alone are not made to feel more alone but the current laws of this country.

Child suicide

March 11, 2016 //  by Tony White

My personal view is there is a solid argument for the idea that a child cannot suicide. If one uses the term ‘child suicide’ that is quite misleading as the vast majority of people will assume it to have some similarity to the adult suicide which it most definitely has not.

January 2, 2016 //  by Tony White

Responses to suicide

December 7, 2015 //  by Tony White

My experience with those who are close to a suicidal person finds the feeling and thinking responses to be wide and varied. By no means are they all negative as one might logically expect.

Self harm and suicide

November 3, 2015 //  by Tony White

However it is not uncommon for people to confuse the two. For instance if a mother see’s her daughter is cutting self it is understandable how she can then conclude that the daughter is suicidal. However this is not accurate.

Thus one can understand the logic behind her decision to make a significant suicide attempt. Her times of madness cause her great pain and cause pain for those around her. No one knows how long it will last this time and how many more times in the future it will happen again.

The role of magical thinking in suicide risk assessment

July 11, 2015 //  by Tony White
