Para pensar el suicidio más allá de la enfermedad y los diagnósticos: un enfoque contextual-fenomenológico

The objective of this article is to present a conceptual alternative to the diagnostic-centric approach to suicide and present a non-dualistic proposal of analysis the data that says that 90% of suicides are due to a mental disorder. It is concluded that a diagnostic-centric approach is limited regarding the explanation-understanding and help-prevention of suicide. A radical change in the way of thinking about suicide is suggested. Move from a logic that prioritizes the idea of disease, diagnosis and clinical symptomatology, to an approach that places the person and his circumstance, with his subjectivity, suffering, problems and dramas, at the core of understanding of the suicidal phenomenon.
