Abstract

Suicide seldom occurs in the professional environment and is consequently a phenomenon, which is not widely known. Very few researches were led on this subject while we consider that the number of suicides committed in companies increases every year. First, we present the epidemiological data available for this field of study. We will then conduct a study - based on our experience as consultants - on the role of psychologists in the professional sector following the suicide of an employee. In this context, their mission is multiple. They have to deal with urgency and manage the crisis but they might also need to contribute in implementing prevention strategies. © 2008 Société française de psychologie.
