The Psychology Of Suicide: Is The Momentum Of An Intense, Exalted Egotism The Basic Cause?

By Hugh Russell Fraser

Book Overview

The Psychology of Suicide by Hugh Russell Fraser is a thought-provoking book that delves into the complex issue of suicide. The author examines the question of whether an intense, exalted egotism is the basic cause of suicide. Fraser argues that suicide is not simply the result of depression or mental illness, but rather a complex interplay of psychological, social, and cultural factors. He draws on a wide range of sources, including case studies, interviews with suicide survivors, and psychological theories, to explore the various factors that can contribute to suicidal behavior. The book also examines the role of society in shaping attitudes towards suicide, and the ways in which cultural norms and values can either prevent or encourage suicidal behavior. Overall, The Psychology of Suicide is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of a complex and sensitive topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
