Book Launch event with the two co-authors Prof Erminia Colucci, Professor of Visual Psychology and Cultural & Global Mental Health from Middlesex University and Emeritus Prof David Lester, Professor of Psychology at Stockton University USA.
This event will consist of a presentation of the book, with readings discussions and Q&A, followed by networking.
The book integrates the role of culture, critical in preventing suicide. The book exploring suicide in different cultural contexts, highlights how to conduct culturally sensitive studies, examining the unique perspective of the role culture plays in suicide research and prevention. With the current domination of individual and largely biomedical approaches in the field, these leading social scientists and suicide researchers carefully show how important integrating sociocultural factors is in helping to prevent people from dying by suicide and support those who live with suicidality.
