The heroic and constrictive substrate in adolescent suicide attempts

Abstract

This study explores the motivations behind suicide attempts in adolescence, analyzing the role of heroic and coercive factors. Through the lens of Adlerian thought, suicide is interpreted as an attempt at self-affirmation and blaming of the surrounding environment. The underlying motivations, such as romantic and academic failure, the demand for personal freedom, drug use, and the conflict between family needs and individual aspirations, highlight the complexity of these anti-conservative behaviors
