This paper focuses on a discussion of the psychological impact of teenage suicide on family members, school friends, and the surrounding community by providing a literature review on the subject.

From the Paper:

"Robert Roerich, M.D. (2002) has sought to combat the suicidal monster in an online environment. He has created an online university, Roadmind University, to help prevent suicide (Newswire, 2002). His work has become recognized throughout the world. He offers free to the public a method that helps people "understand their mental imagery to reveal their hidden emotions and life conflicts". With the use of a PowerPoint presentation, the participant is presented a series of questions that sets them on an imaginary journey. Roerich utilizes the Freudian method of tapping into the unconscious with, "The Road Interview". The website then provides an interpretation of the participant's answers by explaining what that person's mental imagery means. The results are immediate and candid."
