title: [Suicide and work].
abstract: The occurrence of suicide series in the professional setting seems to be a relatively recent phenomenon, even though past and current epidemiological data are lacking to assess their progression. Causes of suicidal gesture are subject to recurrent controversies. Contradictory theories (structuralist theories vs sociogenetic theories) should be overcome to explore relationships between subjects and their work environment. Most of the time, subjects share two features: loneliness and loss of acting power. Diseases of excited activity or impeded activity shed light on the motivations that may lead to rupture.
