What is suicide
A person is solved for suicide when under the influence of those
Or other circumstances, its existence loses its meaning. But his
loss - although the necessary, but not sufficient condition of suicidal
Behavior. Need another reassessment of death. Death must be acquired
a certain meaning, and then the idea of it can turn into
Purpose of activities. And finally, often events pushing suicide,
Apply a powerful blow to human values.
Decision to commit
Suicide is an act of moral choice. Having preference
suicide, a person relates his motive and result, takes
yourself responsibility for self-destruction or shifting this
Responsibility on others. Anyway, when a person suicide,
it sees it is not just an action leading to death, but also a certain
Act, serving «Message» For people causing their attitude, evaluation
And opinions.
Numerous observations give reason to assert,
that even with true suicides (that is, those whose goal is not
is blackmail), their immediate goal - the cessation of life - in
most cases do not coincide with the motives of suicide behavior.
Suicide is as if a tool serving other, superior
motive, and not deadly, but quite life. Paradox suicide
lies in the fact that the cessation of life is filled for suicides
Moral and psychological meaning. However, this is not so paradox.
If suicide did not make sense, like all other behavioral
acts, then it would not be a murder of yourself, that is, a conscious act.
Types of suicidal behavior
There are five basic types of suicide meaning: «protest», «Call», «avoid», «Self-telling», «refusal».
«Protest» - This desire to punish offenders, cause them to harm at least the fact of their own death.
«Call»
- This is a cry for help, about lack of attention. The meaning of suicide such
kind - to cause his death sympathy, compassion for others.
«Avoid»
puts the goal to get away from suffering or punishment. For example,
Poured a bullet in the forehead man who cleaned public treasury.
«Self-telling»
- Something like a dialogue of two «I»: Judges and the defendant. Moral meaning
Suicide such - the redemption of guilt («No, after such a act I am not
takes live»).
«Refusal»: Here is a goal
suicide and behavior motive almost coincide, and therefore the meaning
self-destruction can be characterized as a complete surrender.
Everything
The selected types of suicidal behavior are analogs of common
strategies in conflict situations, and that they correspond to the same types
Moral and psychological positions of the personality: protest and accusations
others; call to help; evasion fighting and escape from
difficulties; self-evidence; refusal.
If
Analyze the individual style of behavior and resolution of conflicts
many, it becomes clear that in the life situations of their reaction usually
Top to the type of solutions they chose as
suicide.
Crisis States preceding suicide,
can be called «overlapping» Sources of life meaning: happens
blockade of life goals, an idea of the impossibility of self-realization,
gap meanwhile «must» and the fact that there is, between your own and
surrounding life. As a result, life makes life sense, interest
To life, prospects, and therefore - and incentives for activities.
There is an alienation and hopelessness, a feeling of tremies and
hopelessness of life.
Such states may occur not only
As a result, one serious traumatic event, but also as a result
A series of vital difficulties.
So, the main mechanism,
Specific suicidal behavior and a triggering suicide act - this is inversion (revolution) of relations to life and death. Life is loss
all degrees of positive relationship and perceived only negative,
While death changes his sign with a negative on
positive. From this point on, the formation of the goal
suicide and development of its implementation plan.
