PROSE Award Finalist for Psychology and Applied
Social WorkArgues that a range of behaviors such
as murder-suicide, terrorism, and mass shootings
are better understood as motivated by suicidal
impulses than by homicidal onesMass shooters
often display behaviors that strongly mirror the
warning signs for suicide lives led in
isolation, intense personal suffering,
disaffection, and struggle. Letters detailing why
they did what they did paint pictures of intense
misery and loneliness. As this book makes clear,
private despair sometimes leads to social
violence.In this groundbreaking work, Thomas
Joiner offers a unified theory of suicide,
making the case that many acts that appear
homicidal are best understood primarily as
suicidal. We must recognize that there are
several forms of suicidal violence, some of
which masquerade as other types of acts,
including terrorism and murder. These include
suicide-by-cop, suicide terrorism,
murder-suicide, and running amok. Though there
are obvious differences among these acts, Joiner
argues that framing them as stemming from a
common ideology of suicide is a crucial step in
preventing these atrocities.By recognizing the
desire to die8213no to kill8213asbeing at the
heart of many of the acts of those who choose to
kill their partner, shoot up their school, or
terrorize their community, we can offer more
effective measures of intervention. At a time
when our nation is scrambling for solutions in
the fight to end gun violence, this book presents
a crucial component in the detection and
treatment of unwell individuals.
