När livet inte längre känns värt att leva- en kvalitativ intervjustudie om sex professionellas syn på orsaker till suicidalitet

Sammanfattning: Suicide among young people are a serious problem worlwide as well in Sweden. The main purpose with this study was to examine and understand how suicide can be explained- to identify possible causes to suicide behaviour among young people. Through a qualitative approach, I interviewed six people who are working with young people in different ways. The main- result from this study shows that suicide is a complex phenomenon that cannot easily be explained. The respondents draws from a wide range of theories when they explain suicide. The most common causes were individual psychological problems ( mental disorders) social and relationship problems ( friends, parents, bullying) and problems that were based more on external causes ( social structure, pressure, norms and values). The analysis was based on Emilie Durkheims theory of anomic suicide and Jan Beskows model of suicide.
