ABSTRACT:A formulation of Durkheim's theory of suicide is tested using data from a sample of 55 societies covered by the Human Relations Area Files. The model predicts suicide rates in five “pure” conditions but only in one “mixed” condition. In addition, the rates differ in each of the four pure extreme conditions. It is concluded that “integration” may be more important than “regulation” in determining the suicide rate of societies, groups, or so

摘要:

ABSTRACT:There are few studies in the suicide literature where persons who make more than one suicide attempt are compared with persons who make only a single attempt. The present study investigated all patients (N = 347) who had come to Massachusetts General Hospital with a suicide attempt in 1965. In this group of patients, the 43 who had made multiple attempts were compared with a randomly selected group of 96 patients who had made only a single attempt.When compared to single attempters, multiple attempters made their initial attempt at an earlier age and at a lower lethal level (as measured by the Risk‐Rescue Rating), had a more intense history of prior psychiatric treatment, and received more psychiatric treatment subsequent to the first attempt. Multiple attempters did not differ from single attempters with regard to sex, race, religion, or marital status at the time of the first attempt.Within the group of multiple attempters two subgroups emerged: (a) those who were younger, whose initial lethality level was lower, and who had shorter time intervals between attempts; and (b) those who were older, had higher initial lethality levels, and had longer time periods between attempts. For both subgroups, receiving psychiatric treatment following the first attempt lowered the lethality of their second attempt.Multiple regression analysis was employed to predict the lethal level of a subsequent attempt, should such occur. This predictive equation and the descriptive differences cited above may have direct implications for the management of suicidal person

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Intrapsychic factors and events in close interpersonal relationships are supplemented by events in the political climate which can affect a potential assassin so as to lower his defenses against homicidal assassination impulses and facilitate or precipitate an overt act. Such events can include another assassination, a natural death, or an abdication of a president or leader. The “contagious” nature of killing is discussed with respect to previous and recent assassinations. The paper explores the potential effects upon James Earl Ray of President Johnson's “abdication” speech, upon Lee Harvey Oswald of the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam, and upon Arthur Bremer of President Nixon's Vietnam escalation

摘要:

ABSTRACT:A 12‐month study was completed in London, Ontario, Canada, of physician contacts with 232 patients with nonhospitalized self‐injuries. Of 254 physicians contacted, 17 percent accounted for the reports of the 232 patients—83 percent of the physicians reporting zero cases. Reasons for underreporting by physicians of nonhospitalized self‐injuries, as well as reasons for cases of self‐injury being differentially distributed among different kinds of physicians, are explored. The notion of “self‐injury” is examined, and some practical implication

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Thirty‐seven depressive patients were examined, nine of whom had attempted to commit suicide. An MMPI profile and check list was compiled on each patient in order to assess the risk of suicide. It was demonstrated that anxiety and depression are correlated with an increased risk. The specific type of fear is not important; it appears together with social maladjustment, is compressed, and then finds its expression in the cry for help that a suicidal tendency represent
