• Social exclusion and the deconstructed state: time perception, meaninglessness, lethargy, lack of emotion, and self-awareness. (2003, background): “Rogers (2001) has asserted that a failure to create meaning underlies most suicide attempts.”
• The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (2010, background): “…theories propose that suicide is caused by unconscious drives (Menninger, 1938), intense affective states (Hendin, 1991), desire for escape from psychological pain (Baumeister, 1990; Shneidman, 1998), existential drives for meaning (Rogers, 2001), and disturbed attachment (Bowlby, 1973).”
