Relationships are critical to human experience and can be pivotal in both the genesis of and recovery from psychological distress. This dichotomy is especially pertinent to the highly contentious diagnoses of borderline or emotionally unstable personality disorder, of which repeated suicide attempts and self-harm are commonly considered indicative. Drawing on research with people who had survived multiple suicide attempts and been subject to numerous Mental Health Act detentions, this chapter presents a model of recurrent suicidality that highlights how relational contexts can be critical in mediating outcomes. The model indicates how relationships can impact sense of self to drive either harmful or helpful patterns of behaviour. Further, it highlights the importance of a wholescale, ‘community’ approach to repair the damaged beliefs underlying the dangerous cycle of repeated suicide attempts and suggests key components for such reparative work to succeed.
