Abstract
SYNOPSIS: Historical analysis can contribute to the study of suicide as a form of human behaviour by providing perspective. Examining suicide in relation to changing social conditions, value systems, institutions and ideologies at different periods and in various societies may suggest ways of looking at suicide in our society. Materials presented here also indicate possibilities for further investigation.Keywords
