Abstract

In this book, we have met people who were so desperate that they were willing to give up the most important thing – their lives – in order to escape other subjectively perceived threats and problems. This has also shaken us. From this our concern has arisen: we want to dare to formulate how we can meet a suicidal person, or a person after a suicide attempt, and help them to act in a life-oriented way.
