The Socioemotional Foundations of Suicide: A Microsociological View of Durkheim's Suicide
2014
Overview
Durkheim's theory of suicide remains one of the quintessential \"classic\" theories in sociology. Since the 1960s and 1970s, however, it has been challenged on theoretical and empirical grounds. Rather than defend Durkheim's theory on its own terms, this paper elaborates his typology of suicide by sketching suicide's socioemotional structure. We integrate social psychological, psychological, and psychiatric advances in emotion research and argue that (1) egoistic, or attachment-based suicides, are driven primarily by sadness/hopelessness; (2) anomic/fatalistic, or regulative suicides, are driven by shame; and (3) mixed-types exist and are useful for developing a more robust and complex multilevel model.
