自杀:理解并终结一个国家悲剧

English | September 3rd, 2024 | ISBN: 1421449412 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 0.96 MB

An urgent call to action on a rising—and preventable—trend.

Each year in the United States alone, nearly 50,000 individuals die by suicide; more than 1.2 million others attempt it. John Bateson, former executive director of a suicide prevention center, examines this national tragedy from multiple angles while debunking common myths, sharing demographic data, and identifying risk factors and warning signs. Suicide provides essential information about the current landscape surrounding suicide in the United States as well as strategies to prevent further tragedy.

Bateson emphasizes that the rise in suicide and attempted suicide is not only a mental health issue affecting individuals but also an urgent problem for society at large. He discusses suicide in parks, prisons, and the military, as well as assisted suicide, suicide by cop, and murder-suicide. In particular, he details the stark relationship among guns, drugs, jump sites, and suicide, focusing on one of the most effective ways to prevent suicide—restricting access to lethal means. In addition to presenting practical information for identifying people at risk of suicide, Bateson details important steps that individuals, businesses, and the government can take to end this public health problem.


美国每年仅因自杀死亡的人数就接近5万人,另有超过120万多人试图自杀。前自杀预防中心执行主任约翰·巴特森从多个角度审视这一全国性悲剧,并通过揭穿常见误解、分享人口统计数据以及识别风险因素和预警信号来消除这些误解。 巴特森强调,自杀不仅是一个影响个体的mental health问题,同时也是整个社会面临的一个紧迫问题。他讨论了公园、监狱和军队中的自杀行为,还包括协助自杀、警察自杀以及自杀式谋杀。特别地,他详细分析了枪支、毒品、跳崖地点与自杀之间的鲜明关系,并重点介绍了预防自杀的一种最有效方式——限制致命手段的可获得性。除了提供识别处于高风险状态的人士所需的实际信息外,巴特森还详细描述了个人、企业以及政府可以采取的重要步骤来终结这一公共卫生问题。
