Current strategies in suicide prevention are strongly associated with biomedical, psychiatric and psychological studies, in which suicide is regularly represented as being an individual phenomenon. Some contributions certainly exist which pay attention to psyco-social aspects, as exemplified by research based on the notion of connectedness - particularly those concerning suicide in adolescents. However, in these cases both cultural and social conditions and micro-processes responsible for psychological pain receive insufficient consideration. Certain, recent sociological studies overcome such limitations. Among them, the sociological autopsy provides important insights beyond certain deficiencies of the psychological autopsy and is able to contribute to a real multidisciplinary suicidology
