| Summary, etc. |
This study investigates possible links between suicide and traumatic events in the family system. Drawing on object relations, attachment theory, internal family systems, psychoanalysis, trauma theory and other approaches the research uses a family constellations lens as developed by Hellinger (1998) and others. A family constelation is a one-off therapeutic event that normally takes place in a group setting with a trained facilitator - normally a psychotherapist. The research involved a two-day family constellations workshop for sixteen people - seven of whom were bereaved by suicide. Four of these seven participants were seriously worried about their children who had clearly indicated suicidal intent. Approximately one year later each of the seven bereaved were interviewed to help assess the effects of the work. In each of the families studied possible links were established between traumatic/difficult events in the family and suicide or suicidal behaviour. While such links cannot be definitively proved they were highly significant to the family member present at the workshop. This research identifies common themes and "entanglements" in the families being studied. A clear method of working with suicide and suicidal behaviour using a family constellations lens is proposed. New possibilities in the area of suicidology are presented. The question of the "why" of suicide is explored in the hope of gaining real insight into the phenomenon that is suicide and of support those bereaved by suicide in a meaningful way. - (Author's abstract) |
