Prevención del Suicidio Adolescente - by Francisco Javier Izaguirre Ormazabal (Paperback)

About the Book

When living is scarier than dying... Suicide, the leading cause of death among young people between the ages of 12 and 29, continues to increase. Renowned psychologist Patxi Izaguirre approaches self-destructive behaviors in adolescence with an empathetic narrative, so that we can face these difficult situations in a caring and effective way. In numerous dialogues with patients, we know the profile of the young person who suffers mentally, feels alone and misunderstood, without belonging to any group or vital purpose. They perceive themself as a burden and fantasizes about putting an end to their agony, imagining a relief that never comes. These pages offer practical guidance for helping young people in critical situations. In addition, the author provides resources for educators, health professionals, friends and the social environment involved in the face of suicidal whispers. The new generations reflect a society in crisis, and we cannot afford to lose the illusion of building a more cooperative and less individualistic world. For this reason, Izaguirre relies on real testimonies to illustrate the path towards vital hope, rescuing our humanistic future and becoming aware of what is essential.
