Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford | Goodreads

This is a seriously interesting book. It is an early classic of sociology (and of sociological thinking) and so, as such, it is one of those books you are supposed to at least know-of, if not to have actually read. And, despite it being rather long, it is surprisingly easy to read. PESTIAN: Well, there's - again, we're not making diagnosis so there's never a risk with presenting the clinician more information and more data so that they can understand what's going on. But as far as a finalized test, we still have a lot of work to do. At each moment of its history, therefore, each society has a definite aptitude for suicide". [Hal. XI] If there is a neutral word in the triad, the link will retain the valence of the other end node possessing a sentiment polarity; He says in his book that many people choose not to be free due to their xenophobia of death...this is true, but I have wayyy too many things I want to do in life, and wayyy too many things I'm curious about to ever potentially be able to call quits! Including: I'm curious to see how I die. In my last minutes (or seconds) before death, I'd be able to think "So this is how I die...this is how old I grew to be..." And I want that to forever be a mystery.

So you just sit down and you have whoever is in charge, in our case it's the social workers. We ask them a - the kids a series of questions. We ask things like, do you have hope? Do you have any secrets that you're hiding that you want to talk to us about? Do you - where does it hurt emotionally? And we listen to those responses. JOHN PESTIAN: Oh, thank you for inviting me. And just for the record, I'm not a pediatrician. I'm a scientist there.

People usually speculates that suicide would be at its peak in the darker and colder season that will surely sparked melancholia; but the total reverse actually happened. Suicide peaks at the most brightest and mildest season; people actually choose the season with least difficulty to die. The closest data in supporting the seasonal data, would be the pattern that as the day lengthens, the rate of suicides increase greatly. What would explain this pattern? And this is also reinforced by the fact that 3/5 of the suicide happened in daytime, and peaked at the strongest heat; which is a time of maximum social interactions. And we took those notes and we shuffled them all up, and then we asked about 60 mental health professionals to tell us which ones were real and which ones were simulated. And mental health professionals were good as a flip of a coin, about 50 percent of the time. Now, that's a hard task, don't get me wrong.

But over the course of the next forty-five days, Jeff begins to understand why he ended up here—and realizes he has more in common with the other kids than he thought.
