Abstract

In scientific and professional literature, suicide is often discussed and written about on the basis of general and deficient data from different services (police, judiciary, public statistics service, institutions of social and health protection). Exploration and explanation of external (social and family) and internal (suicidal dispositions and motives) factors of suicide grounded only on data of "unfaithful" statistics is not methodologically serious.

Specificity of suicide research emerges from the conditions (social, political, economic, cultural, family and personal) as well as from the sample, source and availability of the data.

The intention and aim of this text is to consider possibilities for the application of document analysis (qualitative and quantitative), biographical methods and case studies in scientific research of suicide, having in mind all the specificities of the inspected phenomenon.
