Meridiana is a four-monthly journal, established in 1987 by a group of researchers specialized in various branches of social sciences (i.e. economists, sociologists, anthropologists and political scientists) and history. Since then a distinctive feature of the journal has been its interdisciplinary approach usually applied to a monographic theme. Initially Meridiana focused on the problems with the development in the Mezzogiorno of Italy. In the last ten years it has broadened its scope to cover all themes related to social and economic development and inequality, also from an historical point of view. Meridiana publishes also free articles on topics of its interest. All articles go through a process of blind peer review to evaluate both academic excellence and accessibility of the articles to a wide array of social scholars and historians.

Dai dati segnalati dall’OMS negli ultimi anni è emerso che il suicidio costituisce oggi un grave problema di sanità pubblica: nei Paesi occidentali rappresenta infatti la seconda-terza causa di morte nei giovani e l’ottava-nona nei soggetti anziani. Nel 2000 circa un milione di individui si è tolto la vita, mentre circa 15 milioni di persone hanno tentato il suicidio. Ciò significa, in media, una morte per suicidio ogni 40 secondi e un tentativo di suicidio ogni 3 secondi. Il suicidio è un atto complesso, non ascrivibile a una sola causa. Secondo i più recenti studi, infatti, le motivazioni alla base di questo fenomeno derivano da un’interazione di fattori biologici e ambientali, che si intrecciano con ulteriori implicazioni psicologiche, sociali e culturali. Questo volume analizza la varietà dei fenomeni autolesivi (vero e proprio suicidio, tentato suicidio, altre forme di comportamento anticonservativo) e individua le categorie di soggetti più interessate, con particolare attenzione agli adolescenti e alle popolazioni speciali (carcerati, forze dell’ordine), descrivendo fattori di rischio e di protezione e delineando strategie di trattamento e prevenzione. Pensato in particolare per medici, psicologi, studenti universitari di ogni ordine e grado, nonché per i diversi operatori sanitari e psicosociali, questo libro si rivolge anche a tutti coloro che sono interessati ai quegli aspetti della società (condizione economica, religiosità, crisi, tossicodipendenza) chiamati in causa da questa condizione estrema di disagio.
