Summary

The aim here is not to attempt any generalisations from individual, personal experience but rather to contribute the author's story to the meagre body of first-person data currently found in suicidology. A second purpose is to use the author's story to draw attention to some serious shortcomings in suicidology.

Thinking About Suicide by David Webb

The literature of suicidology has studiously ignored those who actually experience suicidal feelings. Webb suggests this is no accident but a very deliberate exclusion of this critically important first-person knowledge. Webb rejects the medical model that claims suicide is caused by some notional mental illness, and discusses the spiritual wisdom that released him from the persistent urge to die
David Webb is a popular artist/tutor on the nationwide leisure painting circuit whose particular strength is painting animals in watercolour. His work is regularly featured in the leisure painting press, and he runs his own workshops and painting breaks. David lives in Paignton, Devon.
