Abstract: Conception of suicide have changed throughout the history of mankind. Since magical-religious ideas were abandoned from the 19th century onwards, the concept of suicide has radically changed and made way for science and sociology. Theories and evidence have been provided throughout the 20th century, which reveal that the psychopathological and social determinants of suicide are essential for the comprehension of this complex phenomenon. Currently, the different models of understanding can be integrated into a multidimensional framework that allows for the explanation of suicidal behaviour, with the main goal of designing suicide prevention strategies.
