| Summary: | Leading experts examine suicidal behavior and its prevention in immigrants and their descendants the fastest expanding proportion of the population in many European countries. Nearly half of the inhabitants of several large European cities, such as London, Berlin, or Amsterdam, and a rising proportion of many countries overall population, are immigrants or from an ethnic minority. However, this fact has been understudied in research and prevention of suicidal behavior. This volume addresses this gap. Leading experts describe rates and risk factors of suicidal behavior among immigrants and ethnic minorities, looking at high-risk groups such as female immigrants and refugees, as well as examining the role of cultural factors. They also show how epidemiology, theory, and other research findings can be translated into solid prevention and treatment programs. -- Provided by publisher Foreword by Danuta Wasserman -- Part I: Introduction -- Introduction / Diana D. van Bergen, Amanda Heredia Montesinos, and Meryam Schouler-Ocak -- Part II: Rates -- Rates of suicidal behavior among immigrants and ethnic minorities in Europe / Marion Christian Aichberger -- Part III: Risk Factors / Precipitating and risk factors for suicidal behavior among immigrants and ethnic minorities in Europe: A review of the literature / Amanda Heredia Montesinos -- Suicidal behavior among ethnic minorities in England / Matthew Haigh, Navneet Kapur, and Jayne Cooper -- Part IV: Special Interest Groups -- Female immigrants and suicidal behavior: The role of gender-related stressors / Diana D. van Bergen and Amanda Heredia Montesinos -- Suicidal behavior and sociocultural factors among South Asians in the UK / Alex Till and Dinesh Bhugra -- Suicide and self-harm among refugees and asylum seekers / Pavan Joshi and Nasir Warfa -- Suicide among the Roma people and Irish travelers / David Lester -- Part V: The role of culture -- Culture, cultural meanings, and suicide among people from migrant and refugee backgrounds / Erinia Colucci and Lay San Too -- When can suicidality be considered sign of mental malady? / Andreas Heinz -- Part VI: Prevention and treatment -- Suicidal behavior in four ethnic groups in The Hague, The Netherlands, 1987-2010: Epidemiology, prevention, and aftercare / Irene Burger, Betty Salverda, Marion Ferber, Marian Luinstra-Passchier, and Geertje Ariens -- End your silence, not your life: A suicide prevention campaign for women of Turkish origin in Berlin / Meryam Schouler-Ocak |
