About this deal

Rejecting psychopathic state. It would be an almost knee-jerk reflex to blame insanity as one of the causes of suicide. But suicide as an act from specific and voluntary intention, according to Durkheim, is almost impossible among the insane. These are absent in the manic in his multiplicity of shifting thoughts, the obsessive under his thraldom and fixity, the melancholic in the chronicity and lastly the impulsive in the automaticity of his thoughts; all are devoid of real intent to truly die. In short, the suicidal state felt by the insane is devoid of any real or concrete motive, as different as illusions and hallucinations to normal perceptions. By saying this is not at all discounting the fact that the insane really felt the pangs of his state, but to emphasise on its totally unrelatedness to external conditions. From the racial factor, he pointed out that if suicide does indeed rise from insanity, then why would the Jews with a higher number of the insane has one of the lowest rate for suicide?

Durkheim exposes a lot of facts about suicide that have been successfully validated by contemporary studies of the subject. For example, the greater likelihood of unmarried individuals to commit suicide, the increased likelihood of suicide with age, the greater likelihood of educated individuals to commit suicide, etc. PESTIAN: Yeah. So you just sit down and you have whoever is in charge, in our case it's the social workers. We ask them a - the kids a series of questions. We ask things like, do you have hope? Do you have any secrets that you're hiding that you want to talk to us about? Do you - where does it hurt emotionally? And we listen to those responses.Durkheim was also deeply preoccupied with the acceptance of sociology as a legitimate science. He refined the positivism originally set forth by Auguste Comte, promoting what could be considered as a form of epistemological realism, as well as the use of the hypothetico-deductive model in social science. For him, sociology was the science of institutions,[citation needed] its aim being to discover structural social facts. Durkheim was a major proponent of structural functionalism, a foundational perspective in both sociology and anthropology. In his view, social science should be purely holistic; that is, sociology should study phenomena attributed to society at large, rather than being limited to the specific actions of individuals.

And we took those notes and we shuffled them all up, and then we asked about 60 mental health professionals to tell us which ones were real and which ones were simulated. And mental health professionals were good as a flip of a coin, about 50 percent of the time. Now, that's a hard task, don't get me wrong. At each moment of its history, therefore, each society has a definite aptitude for suicide". [Hal. XI]Although not all scientists and philosophers of science agree with this. Reductionism – the golden ideal of reducing a given science fully into terms of a more fundamental science – has its proponents. Some of the most renowned physicists and biologists are reductionists; and reductionism has done much good for science.) There are two types of people, those who have thought about suicide at least once and those who do not see the point in it, living cheerfully and at ease. A book by a sociologist that gives an opportunity to look at suicide not only because of psychological problems, but also because of social problems. Durkheim undertakes to argue that the main cause of suicide is loneliness, not new, you will agree. The author also provides the reader with an interesting theory that there are no psychological reasons for suicide.

Suicide Notes - Michael Thomas Ford - Paperback

Husbands with children has coefficient of preservation (against the control) of 2.9, the childless 1.5.Dalam Suicide, kita dibawa pada gaya pemahaman ala strukturalisme yang luas dan evokatif. Ia berkali-kali menyebutkan tentang fakta sosial (social facts) sebagai kata kunci, atau sebuah substansi ekternal yang secara terinternalisasi dalam tubuh-tubuh individu dalam masyarakat, yang pada akhirnya membentuk pola dan kehidupan masyarakat itu sendiri. Itulah mengapa pada Hal. 278 dengan tegas ia menyatakan "it is not true that society is made up only of individuals; it also includes material things, which play an essential role in the common life". "Material" tersebutlah yang harus ditekankan sebagai fokus, karena ia juga dapat bermakna simbol hingga status yang dikonstruksikan bersama-sama. PESTIAN: Well, we use survivors - there was 160 of them that volunteered to help us when we were building the corpus for linguistic analysis. And they came forward when we asked for their help through the American Association of Suicidology, and all of them came forward. So we try to call on anyone who's willing to help, to be honest with you. Of the whole Marx, Weber, Durkheim trifecta, these are my favorites to read (and this is about pleasure, not about theoretical or ideological paradigms):

Fully Catholic European countries such as Italy, Portugal and Spain has much lower suicide rate than Protestant ones.CONAN: I understand you work from a collection, though, of 1,300 suicide notes. Who made this collection, and why? This cache represented the notes collected by the coroners between 1944 and 1953, but this meant that only about 15% of recognized suicidal decedents had left them. The Discomfort Relief Quotient (DRQ) PESTIAN: So what we do is we take these notes. And we originally had a great deal of help from the survivor community. And the survivor community are the people who had someone in their family or a loved one die by suicide, because when you read the notes you have to annotate them with emotions. You have to look and say, oh, I'm really mad at my mother. Is that anger or is that hate? Someone has to read through that and annotate it and say - so we had these... CONAN: OK. Thanks very much. Appreciate it. John Pestian is a director of the Computational Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He joined us today from our member station there in Cincinnati, WGCU.
