Description
Excerpt from Suicide, Vol. 1: Studies on Its Philosophy, Causes, and Prevention
Hence the causes of suicide naturally fall under two main divisions, the external or social, and the internal or personal.
The external or social order of causes is subdivisible into general and special causes of suicide. The general causes exist everywhere and under all circumstances. They have their source in extravagant religious and moral beliefs. The special causes comprise all those various circumstances and accidents which result from the relations of individuals to each other in society, hereditary tendency, education, literature, financial losses and embarrassments, love troubles, and the rest. The personal causes include ill health, insanity, and the im portant factor, temperament.
These causes are set forth in the following pages, to which three chapters are added on the prevention of sui cide.
