Abstract

Suicidality is one of the most serious unsolved problems of modern psychiatry. The psychological analysis of the behavioral and meaning patterns of suicide in the work of W. Percy gives the opportunity to a better and wider understanding of this phenomenon. In the suicide discussion, Percy points out the primary human need of transcendence and symbolization and the meaning of the "experience on the border" with its sense inducing character.
