Suicidal Behaviour in the Asia-Pacific Region
Suicidal Behaviour in the Asia-Pacific Region

Sociocultural perspectives on Asia-Pacific suicidal trends.

If you're fascinated by the interplay between culture and mental health, this book offers a compelling dive into how social and cultural factors shape suicidal behaviors across the Asia-Pacific region. It doesn't just skim the surface but provides a comparative analysis that would enrich any mental health professional's or researcher's understanding of this complex phenomenon, within specific cultural contexts. It shines a light on the unique features of various societies and how they correlate with such a critical aspect of human behavior.

Description

In addition to various biological and psychological factors, sociocultural factors have a tremendous impact on suicidal behaviour. It is therefore possible to examine patterns of suicidal behaviour as observed in various sociocultural environments. Asia and Pacific societies have many unique features - history, culture, geographic background, and recent economic development. This book examines and compares for the first time, suicidal behaviour among the various societies in these regions, which include Japan, Korea, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Hawaii. This volume should be of value to health professionals and administrators, mental health workers, employers as well as the general public.
