Abstract

The psychological autopsy is a method to estimate causes of suicidal death by collecting data from interviewing suicide victim’s family added with additional life records. Recently, local governments and suicide prevention centers have been trying to implement psychological autopsy. but there is paucity of efforts examining the validity and effectiveness of the psychological autopsy. Therefore, this paper reviewed psychological autopsy studies and risk factors in Western and Asia countries. and then a methodology for the Korean version of psychological autopsy was suggested. After investigating the specific risk factors for korean suicide through psychological autopsy, then it can be possible to grasp the intervention point for effective suicide prevention. We also propose future directions for psychological autopsy study and interventions in Korea.
