Abstract

Psychological autopsy (PA) has been developed across many countries and contexts has proven beneficial during death investigations and in suicide cases. However, academics and practitioners in Indonesia doubt its reliability and efficacy in post-mortem examinations. Consequently, this piece discusses relevant literature, including empirical studies, reviews, and observations, to help contribute to the debate on the validity and feasibility of incorporating PAs in the Indonesian forensic field. In the authors’ view, by adapting PA, which has been implemented in other regions, and adjusting it to relevant socio-cultural contexts, it may be considered a helpful procedure for forensic examination under the legal regulations and social frameworks of Indonesia.
