Why People Die by Suicide by Thomas E. Joiner

emotional informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

So, in an attempt to prepare for my new job as well as read more nonfiction this year, I started with this book to kind of go more in depth with Joiner’s theory of suicide. I covered it in a lot of my classes and we’ll as the lab I worked in in college but this is obviously a much more detailed account of his theoretical framework emphasizing the roles of acquired capability, perceived burdensomeness, and belongingness and how they intersect with each other. Overall, it was a really quick read and super informative!
