Abstract

Suicide is still a major health concern, although suicide rates widely differ among different countries and cultures. Thus, besides biological and clinical studies, there is an increasing transcultural research activity on suicidal behaviour. We are presenting here some important transcultural aspects of suicidal behaviour and report some preliminary findings of our transcultural suicide research. Based on the previous data and on our investigations it is likely that the national character and the attitudes toward self-harm are reflecting in some major cultural, historical texts of a nation.
