An older man, once filled with purpose and vitality, now finds himself empty and lost in retirement. Meanwhile, a young man discovers that his wife is engaging in an extramarital affair, shattering his world and leaving him with a deep sense of betrayal. In the face of such overwhelming pain and despair, they all believe that suicide is the only way out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, Ladislav Valach and Annette Reissfelder challenge this notion by arguing that suicide is not an illness but an action. Their perspective is rooted in a deep respect for personal accounts of one's experiences, giving the suicidal individuals a platform to share their stories. This book presents twelve unique cases that follow a suicide attempt, delving into the intricate details of the conversations and the theory of action in everyday life. By exploring the long-term, medium-term, and short-term concerns of the patients and the actions depicted in the stories, practitioners gain a profound understanding of the underlying causes of suicide and the potential for treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough these compelling narratives, the book offers a powerful message of hope and healing. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility of finding light and rebuilding one's life. It encourages professionals and individuals alike to approach suicide with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to providing the support and resources needed to help those in distress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, Suicide: An Action Perspective serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion. It reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that there is always hope for a better tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 544g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 168 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783662663042\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ladislav Valach,Annette Reissfelder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44302292451578,"sku":"9783662663042","price":74.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_91d37a5b-7a06-4dd6-b4b9-fb34c473c5d7.jpg?v=1687924314","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/casebook-suicide-and-suicide-prevention-twelve-suicide-attempts-analyzed-by-action-theory-9783662663042","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
