Résumé
Si la présence de certains facteurs augmente le risque de conduites suicidaires, la question est de savoir quel peut être le poids différentiel des divers facteurs de risque, pour quels individus, dans quel contexte et à quelle période de leur vie ? Nous avons mis à l’épreuve l’expérimentation d’un modèle expliquant différentes trajectoires de vie qui mènent au suicide. Cette étude permet de dépasser un modèle corrélationnel d’identification de facteurs de risque et de cibler quatre sous-groupes distincts d’individus dont la trajectoire développementale semble bien différente. Il est clair que le suicide est un problème complexe, multidimensionnel, multiniveau. La psychologie, au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines scientifiques, peut intégrer et faire le lien avec d’autres disciplines afin de clarifier les contextes de vie qui affectent différemment les personnes suicidaires, permettant ainsi de mettre en oeuvre des interventions préventives susceptibles d’agir dans cette chaîne causale dont l’issue ultime est le suicide.
Abstract
If certain risk factors are known to increase suicidal behaviors, the question is to determine the differential weight of these various risk factors, on which individuals, in which context and in what period of their lives? We have put to test a model that explains different life trajectories leading to suicide. This research allows to surpass a correlation model of identification of risk factors and to target four distinct sub-groups of individuals for whom the developmental history seems quite different. It is clear that suicide is a complex, multidimensional and multilevel issue. Being at the crossroads of many scientific disciplines, psychology may help integrate and connect knowledge with other disciplines in order to clarify the contexts that affect suicidal individuals differently. This knowledge may help in identifying specific prevention interventions that could modify this chain of events leading ultimately to suicide.
