Abstract

How can a concerned teacher spot suicidal tendencies in a student--before it is too late? I found a dramatic increase in a student's output when the student wrote about tragic works by the poet Oscar Wilde, and found that certain themes and symbols were both linked to and distinct from their counterparts in the works of verbal art. I propose a noninvasive, sustainable set of guidelines that might be used to detect students at risk and interventions that I believe to be not only good suicide prevention, but also sound pedagogy. © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
