註釋

This volume fills a major gap in the literature on suicide and contrasts with previous works that have addressed suicidal behavior in women from a male perspective. In the past, researchers have focused on suicide mortality, a less frequent and typically male phenomenon, and from that have drawn conclusions about nonfatal suicidal behavior, a more frequent and typically female phenomenon. In an effort to avoid inherent research biases in suicidology, this book critically reviews the most current research on suicide and women from a woman's perspective. The contributors consider the social and cultural factors involved, including age-related and ethnic issues, and also provide useful intervention strategies. This volume is a worthy addition to the libraries of clinicians, academics, and students concerned with the psychology of women, suicide, and death studies.
