This book addresses biopsychosocial and transcultural determinants of suicide by self-immolation, populations at risk throughout the world and prevention strategies specifically designed for young women in fragile environments. Self-immolation, the act of burning oneself as a means of suicide, is rare in high-income countries, and is usually a symbolic display of political protest among men that generally receives international media coverage. In contrast, in low- and-middle-income countries it is highly prevalent, primarily affects women, and may be one of the most common suicide methods in regions of Central and South Asia and parts of Africa. Psychiatric conditions, like adjustment disorders, traumatic stress disorders, and major depression, and family dynamics that include intimate partner violence, forced marriages, the threat of honor killings, and interpersonal family conflicts in a cultural context of war-related life events, poverty, forced migration and ethnic conflicts are important contributing factors. Written by over 40 academic psychiatrists from all continents, sociologists, and historians, the book covers topics such as region-specific cultural and historical factors associated with suicide; the role of religion and belief systems; marginalization, oppression, retraumatization and suicide risk; countertransference aspects of working in burn centers; responsible reporting and the media; and suicide prevention strategies to protect those at risk.

Spätestens mit Inkrafttreten des Gendiagnostikgesetzes wird in Recht, Ethik und Genetik verstärkt diskutiert, wie das dort dem Grunde nach anerkannte "Recht auf Nichtwissen" in den jeweiligen konkreten Anwendungskontexten rechtspraktisch operationalisiert werden kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund etablierte sich eine vom BMBF geförderte Göttinger Projektgruppe (2013-2015), die sich aus renommierten Vertretern der Fachdisziplinen Ethik, Humangenetik, Genetischer Psychiatrie und Recht zusammensetzte. Ihr Ziel war es, unter besonderem Fokus auf die aktuellen bzw. absehbaren technologischen Entwicklungen der modernen Gensequenzierung den zentralen Wertekonflikt im Spannungsfeld von "Autonomie" und "ärztlicher Fürsorge" interdisziplinär und systematisch unter anderem auf Grundlage einer begleitenden Fragebogenstudie zu analysieren. Dieser Band bündelt die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse der einzelnen Forschungsdisziplinen; zudem beziehen weitere namhafte Experten zu den Ergebnissen und aktuellen Entwicklungen vertiefend Stellung.
