摘要:

AbstractGuided by recent demographic analyses of birth cohort effects, the authors demonstrate the relationship between cohort size and longitudinal suicide rates, with reference to four particular cohorts which have entered adulthood at various periods throughout the present century. Combining this perspective with a look at projected population increases among older age groups, estimates are made of the scope of the problem of suicide among older people which is likely to be encountered during the early decades of the next century.

摘要:

AbstractA study of 104 homicide‐followed‐by‐suicide events in Los Angeles during 1970–1979 are reported and compared, in part, to the findings of D. J. West for Wales and England, 1954–1961. Variables discussed are age, ethnicity, sex distribution of both offenders and victims, relationship between them, methods by which victims were killed, alcohol content in victims and offenders, suicide notes, depression, and physica

摘要:

AbstractDrug histories of 46 adolescent suicide attempters and their parents are described. In addition, these attempters and their parents are compared with a group of non‐attempters and their parents on selected measures of drug use. Findings indicate that adolescent drug use is closely related to and perhaps symptomatic of suicidal behaviors and overall pathology. The relationship between adolescent suicidal behaviors and parental drug use is unclear because of the discrepancy between parent‐adolescent respon

摘要:

AbstractThe distinction is made between two uses of the word “death,” specifically,yourdeath (the death of the other) andmydeath (the death of the self). It makes (logical, epistemological and phenomenological) sense for me to speak ofyourdeath, but not for me to speak ofmydeath—inasmuch as, by reasonable definition, I cannot possibly ever experience my death. Dyingisexperienceable—although one can never be certain. The worddeathis a perfectly good word for the demise of the other; the wordomegais suggested to allude to that non‐event (the cessation of the self) now routinely spoken of as

摘要:

AbstractIn 19 consecutive cases of inpatient suicide occurring over many years, 18 out of the 19 cases (95 percent) were judged to have a significant “family” loss issue affecting the suicide. In five cases (26 percent), there seemed to be a powerful institutional attachment and loss threatened that attachment. In 13 cases (68 percent), a major family issue was involved which included events that estranged the patient from the family (real or imagined); divorce or separation issues; death or illness of a significant other; a family that insisted on continued treatment (and/or growth). In 13 cases (68 percent), significant communication from or about the “family” occurred which seemed to have an impact on the suicidal behavior often within days of the final event. In 10 cases (53 percent), an actual family visit had occurred within two weeks of the death. These issues are discussed and case examples pr

摘要:

AbstractThis article explores the psychosocial and environmental configurations that might have been responsible for an unusual situation of survival under extreme conditions. A group of 500 civilians (mostly Americans) lived 3 ½ years in a Japanese internment camp in the Philippines during World War II. Although conditions were very harsh, the survival rate of this group wasbetterthan expected for a comparable group under normal conditions. Discussion of available demographic, social organizational, and cultural information leads to three hypotheses that might account for this outcome
