Abstract

Despite the efforts at prevention and promotion, suicide rates are increasing. Recent researches have tried to understand suicide as a process consisting of stages beginning with suicidal ideation, which followed more active phases with verbal threats and gestures, planning, attempt and finally completed suicide. This study aimed to identify dissuasive factors in this process, in order to understand the way a person decides not to commit suicide. Ten individuals who were hospitalized during a suicidal crisis were interviewed. An autobiographical analysis yielded results in relation to suicide as a possibility, subjectivity, intentionality and references to moral orders. An emerging model of the process of suicide and dissuasive factors is presented and discussed. © 2014 Fundación AIGLÉ.
