This book investigates the historical and current literature regarding the underlying psychological factors for high suicidal behavior rates among transgender population. This theoretical research reviews the current known risk and protective factors for suicide among the general public in comparison to those of the transgender population. The complex and many risk and protective factors appear to be interrelated. The study explores the connection to violence, victimization and discrimination against transgender people as a prevalent and significant risk factor within transgender population.
