Understanding Suicide: Living with loss. Paths to prevention.

Paula Fontenelle was a noted journalist and public relations professional working with high profile politicians and organizations across Brazil when her father took his life in 2005. Her search for meaning in the face of such tragedy led her to make a radical career change. Today Fontenelle is a psychotherapist with a deep dedication to reducing the enduring cultural stigma surrounding suicide. For this book, she interviewed individuals who had attempted suicide, the families who lost loved ones to self-inflicted death, and specialists from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Brazel. Built on an unflinching view of her personal story, powerful testimonials and insightful data from the latest research in the area, "Understanding Suicide" helps us understand the complex nature of suicide, as well its profound impact on those left behind.
