摘要

自杀是年轻女性和围产期母亲的主要死因。本文探讨了对母亲身份的期望如何在年轻女性自杀死亡中发挥作用。我对母性是防止自杀的 "保护性 "因素这一观点提出质疑。我利用 "密集型母性 "这一概念，探讨了对母亲的期望是如何成为致命因素的。通过对 31 位自杀身亡的澳大利亚年轻母亲的分析，探讨了以 "失败的母性 "为中心的三个关键主题：没有父亲的母性、患有精神疾病的母性以及失去对子女的关爱。

"She Was Feeling Overwhelmed at Home Caring for Her Children": Expectations of "Intensive Motherhood" as a Risk Factor for Young Women's Suicide.

Suicide is a leading cause of death among young women and perinatal mothers. This paper explores how expectations of motherhood played a role in young women's deaths by suicide. I question the notion that motherhood is a "protective" factor against suicide. Using the concept of "intensive motherhood," I interrogate how expectations of mothers became fatal. Through analysis of 31 young Australian mothers who died by suicide, three key themes are explored, centered upon the theme of "failing motherhood": mothering without a father, mothering with mental illness, and the loss of care of children.
