Takeaway Points

•Group ideas and cultural myths play an important role in suicidality, sometimes promoting suicide and sometimes preventing it.

•Shamans are socially designated tribal healers who can access useful information in unique ways, such as journeying.

•Soul loss and spirit sickness are terms used by shamans to describe people whose spiritual problems have put them at risk for suicide. Shamanic interventions for these maladies may have relevance for other groups of suicidal people.
