Author Description

This collection of essays deals with suicide and genocide from several aspects and points of view, including historical, sociological, psychological, therapeutic, educational, legal, philosophical, and theological. Some essays combine several approaches and thus the book as a whole offers an integral inter-disciplinary insight into the nature, origins, function, and connections of both phenomena. The book also outlines the ways and models for the prevention of suicide and genocide, and overcoming their effects and consequences. It will be useful for scholars in the fields of humanities and social science.
