clásico ejercicio de pensamiento deductivo, pero algunas hipótesis son muy chistosas.

A girl in my class said this and I quote "I'm pretty sure Émile Durkheim never imagined his book on suicide would make so many psychology students want to die" and that's pretty much my take on it.
Jokes aside, this book it's actually very interesting, the fact that we were depressed was not Durkheim's fault, just my professor's. I had to write a paper on it in not very much time so I didn't savor it quite well, yet even thougth this is the original study so it takes a LOT of explanation to get to the point being made, once you get there it's so amazing to analyse suicide from that many angles.

This was a real eye opener for me when I started studying social theory. Durkheim illustrates how suicide, an intensely personal and private experience, is inextricably linked to numerous social factors. It's fascinating but definitely a dry, dense read. I'd recommend the cliff notes unless you're really into this sort of stuff.

Interesting enough read, not crazy about the subject but I was fascinated by the change of suicide by natural causes to /social/ causes.
