Suicide is a public health issue of the first order and yet one that is nevertheless kept hidden from the public gaze. The mass media turn a deaf ear to a reality that causes more fatalities than traffic accidents, governments fail to include it on their agendas and, in general, suicide is seen as an exceptional, almost fictitious event, something that happens to others. Yet it is a fundamentally human choice that, when made, lays waste to everything in its path. This profound, comprehensive book takes a look at the political and historical dimensions of the enigma of suicide up to the present day. Today, one million people choose to take their lives every year within a society that prefers to turn its back on what it cannot understand, seeking solace in the old-fashioned view of suicide as a crime or a sin, which has for centuries stigmatized this most extreme form of human suffering. Perez Jimenez decries a manifest inability to understand psychic disorders, today reduced to the biochemical approach that holds sway in the pharmaceutical industry, and calls for efforts to make personal contact combined with an approach.
