Abstract
This article presents a problematization of the understanding-explanation of suicide from the perspective of complexity. The differences between 1) a predictor, a risk factor and an alarm factor, 2) between a protection factor, a modulating factor and a therapeutic factor, 3) between an understanding model and an explanation model, 4) between predicting and preventing suicidal behavior and, 5) finally, between a disease-based model of prevention and help and a focus on a subject’s problems in a circumstance are presented. It is concluded that suicide is a complex, plural reality of an existential-interactive-contextual nature.
