Plenary: Why People Die by Suicide

Presenter: Thomas Joiner, Ph.D., Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Florida State University Author of Why People Die by Suicide and Suicide Myths

  • In his new theory of suicidal behavior, Dr. Joiner proposes three factors that mark those most at risk of death: the feeling of being a burden on loved ones; the sense of isolation; and, perhaps chillingly, the learned ability to hurt oneself.
