Quote of the Day 9 Nov 2015
A definition of suicide should never be undertaken lightly. Much, especially implications for individual rescue and for global survival, depends upon it. The task of defining suicide is worthy of a separate book. Edwin Shneidman, Suicide as Psychache
Quote of the Day 8 Nov 2015
Suicide is not a right anymore than is the right to belch. If the individual feels forced to do it, he will do it. That capacity for untoward action cannot be taken away. Edwin Shneidman, Suicide as Psychache
Quote of the Day 7 Nov 2015
Suicide is not only a reaction to unmet needs, but also the need for important psychological freedoms, such as freedom from pain, freedom from guilt, freedom from shame, freedom from rejection, and aloneness. When these freedoms are traumatically violated, an individual who realistically lacks “a court of appeal” may take matters into his own hands and remove his consciousness from the painful scene. Edwin Shneidman, Suicide as Psychache
