Explore the profound concept of suicide as cultural mimesis, an internalized idea shaped by contagion and imitation. This essential volume moves beyond the dominant scientific view of mental disorders to present suicide as an anthropological, community-driven phenomenon. Understand how suicide becomes a culturally scripted idiom of distress and a potential normative option. A must-read for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, anthropology, and public health seeking to grasp cultural diffusion and its impact on societal behaviour.
