Abstract
The Role of Psychotherapy in the Treatment of Suicidal Persons: on the Deromanticization of Death
Shneidman E S
This article states that one of our basic assumptions is that death is best understood as a complex event with dual aspects: intrapersonal & interpersonal. The author explores ideas relating to the interpersonal aspects of death, particularly the dyadic view of death & the implications of these ideas in the approach to the suicidal person.
