Abstract

Abstract Drawing from a larger study of non fatal suicidal behavior in Sri Lanka, we examine the narratives of two young women and their mothers following the daughter’s suicide-like act. These accounts offer insights into how the moral person is constructed in Sri Lanka and, particularly, what it means to be a good daughter and a good woman in Sri Lanka. We reflect on the implications that radically different conceptions of the self and personhood have for construing mental health and wellbeing outside a Western psychological framework. We also examine briefly how such conceptions of self and personhood have shaped feminisms in different locales.

从斯里兰卡的非致命自杀行为的更大的研究图纸，我们检查了两个年轻妇女和她们的母亲继女儿的自杀行为的叙述。这些故事让我们深入了解了斯里兰卡是如何塑造道德人的，尤其是在斯里兰卡，做一个好女儿和好女人意味着什么。我们反思了自我和人格的根本不同概念对在西方心理学框架之外构建心理健康和幸福的影响。我们还简要地考察了这些自我和人格的概念如何在不同的地方塑造了女权主义。
