This work, written by six hands, seeks to offer different and complementary perspectives on a multifaceted theme: suicide prevention. The authors provide up-to-date data on suicide rates in Brazil and around the world, with alarming information that numbers in Brazil have grown while in the world they have fallen. They present public policies that have been effective in reducing cases, contextualize the theoretical and clinical intersection of this theme between psychoanalysis and psychiatry, discuss the countertransference reactions of mental health professionals when dealing with the problem of patients with ideation, plan or attempt of suicide with an illustrative clinical vignette and conclude the work presenting an ethical perspective not common to our Brazilian culture, that there are countries that recognize as legitimate the wish of death of patients with severe mental disorders being possible the official and assisted accomplishment of euthanasia.

Palabras clave : suicide; psychiatry; psychoanalysis; countertransference; public policy.
