SUICIDE AND THE CONFLICTED SOLDIER: A VIEW FROM PSYCHODIAGNOMICS

Paul Brown orcid.org/0000-0003-0136-5477 ; The Pierre Janet Centre, Melbourne, Australia

Sažetak

Background: To move beyond the traditional, cross-sectional, ontogenetic, biopsychosocial, diagnostic formulation of suicide.
Method: Analysis of media reports, principally via Highbeam Research, of a noted case of a sudden and unexpected military
suicide: Jacob Kovco.
Results: Ontogenetic diagnostic analysis, centering on the person, was successfully amplified by diagnostic analysis of time and
place, in the cultural and historical, phylogenetic domain. It revealed an occult, dissociative depression. This method is called
psychodiagnomics.
Conclusion: Ontogenetic analysis of suicide, especially biomedical analysis must be complemented by ontogenetic and
phylogenetic analysis in the socio-cultural domains.
