| Abstract | This paper, a literature review on adolescent suicide, was written to provide family life professionals with help in identifying adolescents at-risk for suicidal behavior, providing more effective interventions for suicidal adolescents and their families, and developing policies and preventive measures. The paper includes an overview of theoretical models used to explain adolescent suicidal behavior, including Durkheim's theory of suicide, social learning theory, psychoanalytic theory, psychological and social-psychological approaches, biological approaches, family systems theory, and human ecological theory. Emphasis is placed on the human ecological model, which provides a multidisciplinary approach to understanding adolescent suicide that incorporates individual, environmental, and social system factors that may influence adolescent suicidal behavior. As a first step toward an ecosystem intervention approach for suicide prevention and intervention, existing literature on adolescent suicide is reviewed and categorized according to the human ecological model, with an emphasis on family dynamics and suicidal behaviors. Ecosystem predictors of suicidal behaviors are discussed at the organism, microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem levels. Recommendations for interventions and prevention efforts are made at each of the levels. Fifty-nine references are included. (NB) |
