ABSTRACT:In an attempt to analyze the relatively neglected relationship between the presence of dependent children and suicide of married parents, the suicides of both married and single persons in the Chicago‐Cook County region for 1970 and 1974 were examined. Single suicides and married suicides with dependent children were compared to similar groups in the general population. It was found that while marrieds with dependent children experienced the lowest average suicide rate, they also had a larger mean number of children than the population as a whole and exhibited a tendency for having children at a very young age or children at an older age in life. These findings contradict contemporary notions that an increasing number of children in a marriage tend to inhibit suicide potential. It appears that the relationship between marital suicide and dependent children is far more complex than previously indicated and requires further research for elaboratio

摘要:

ABSTRACT:This study tests three hypotheses relating to suicidal behavior among urban black males: that black consciousness and group cohesiveness will be lower and depression will be higher. Inner‐city, young adult black males with a suicide attempt in the last 6 months, and matched controls were examined. Hypothesis one was supported; the other two received partial support. The validity of the theory of black self‐hatred as the basic cause of suicidal behavior among blacks is questioned. A two‐factor theory of suicide, focusing on forces moving the person away from suicide toward positive subgroup ties, is pro

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Recent efforts to quantify various aspects of suicide ideation are described. The Suicide Intent Scale, Hopelessness Scale, and the Scale for Suicide Ideation all assess components of the individual's suicidal ruminations. Hopelessness seems to account for the bulk of the relationship between depression and suicidal intent. The Scale for Suicide Ideation seems to show promise as a predictive instrument, as a dependent variable in research on treatment efficacy, and as a tool for clinical assessment of suicide potential. Implications for further research and clinical practice are discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Records of 67 chronic callers to the Cleveland Suicide Prevention Centers over the past 9 years are reviewed. Of this group, 51% were diagnosed as drug or alcohol dependent. It was also noted that 4 of the 67 were known to have committed suicide and that another 37 (55%) had made suicide attempts. A surprising finding was that 47% of the group was eventually referred to an ongoing treatment resource. Agency strategies for dealing with the chronic caller are discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:A review of forty‐seven suicides in women of child‐bearing age revealed that two women were pregnant, two were within the first year post‐partum and two falsely believed themselves pregnant. The search revealed two additional pregnancy‐associated suicides which had not been reported as suicide. Previous studies asserting that pregnancy protects against suicide would seem to be challenged by these data. Pregnancy‐related suicides are similar to each other and to the literary suicide of Hedda Gabler and fit into a continuum of pregnancy‐related depressiv
