It’s a subject that has been explored in various disciplines, including literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc. The client with repeated suicide is a person with their own wishes, repeatedly taking self-harm means to end their own lives. It’s a deviant social behaviour developed through interweaved factors such as one’s physicality, psychology, spirit, family relationship, social relationship. It’s also a way to communicate： some people take this approach to reveal their emotion, to hold sway over others, to gain certain advantages - either spiritual ones or material ones, or even to escape from the guilty or self-depreciation feeling hidden deeply inside one’s subconsciousness. Research has shown that clients with repeated suicide attempts have higher suicide risk. This research focuses on people who have intended to recommit suicide. There are three main aspects that this research aims to explore and understand about the people who have intention to recommit suicide： first, one’s status before recommitting suicide; second, one’s experience of recommitting suicide; third, one’s self-understanding. Method：By the way of purposive sampling, this research interviewed twenty people who have intended to recommit suicide. Each interview ran for forty to sixty minutes. The outline of the questionnaire for the interview was either half-structured or non-structured and was drawn by the investigator. The collected data then was analysed under the principles of content analysis. Findings： As the result of the interviews and content analysis, this research concluded：(1)Before someone recommits suicide, his/her life is as if he/she is stuck in a trap and not able to escape. (2)During recommitting suicide, they are crying and expressing the pain of being struggling between life and death.(3)They resort to recommitting suicide to relieve the pain of frustration in life.(4)One’s relative vulnerable characteristic tends to lead and trap him/her into the script of helplessness.(5)To recommitting suicide is a habitual behaviour for someone to solve his/her own problems and to communicate with others. (6)By connecting with other people, one can find other ways, rather than committing suicide, to deal with difficult situations in life.
