Suicide is a multifaceted phenomenon, with numerous contributing and facilitating factors and variables. Despite motherhood serving as a potential protective factor against suicidal tendencies, a notable prevalence of suicidality persists among pregnant and postpartum women, making suicide a leading cause of death among women with postpartum depression (PDD). Furthermore, numerous women experience emotional challenges during pregnancy, which often persist into the postpartum phase, thus making them also susceptible to depression and suicidality. This Research Topic is dedicated to studies exploring various approaches to suicidal behavior, depression as well as of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI)among pregnant and postpartum women. The purpose of this Research Topic is to elucidate comprehensive analyses of extant knowledge and empirical data about models, theories, and specific dimensions and variables that may help us increase the understanding of suicidal phenomena among perinatal women (pregnant and postpartum). The specific goal is to identify characteristics that may be used to develop prevention and intervention methods among this at-risk population.

This volume, edited by Leyla Dakhli and Klaus Wieland, is an overview of the cultural memory of the Lebanese Civil War, as it has emerged and evolved over the last 30 years. These narratives represent a counter-memory to the non-existent national memory, undesired by Lebanon's political class. In 1991, the Amnesty Law G84/91 was enacted, granting state power impunity for all war crimes, including crimes against humanity. The general amnesty entailed partial amnesia; the war was to be "officially" forgotten. And yet, since the 1990s, nongovernmental organizations, archives, activists, publicists, visual artists, filmmakers, and writers have produced an impressive alternative culture of remembrance of the Lebanese Civil War, which is revisited and analyzed in this book. Contributors represent a multi-disciplinary mix, with perspectives from area studies, history, social science, literary studies, trauma and memory, and peace and conflict studies.
