ABSTRACT:Guided by the hypothesis that imagining actions is a way of rehearsing actions in the service of effective adaptations to reality, various characteristics of imagined motion, assessed by the Rorschach Test, were compared in hospitalized suicidal and nonsuicidal preadolescents and adolescents, and in public school children. A number of differences were found for example, suicidal children imagined less vigorous motion than distinguished suicidal and nonsuicidal children and preadolescent and adolescent suicidal children. Further, the scale devised to assess imagined motion successfully predicted about 75 percent of the suicidal children. Implications for diagnosis and treatment of suicidal children are discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Self‐destructive behavior is a major clinical problem in psychiatry. A review of the literature reveals the existence of enough clinical data to identify a diagnostic entity, “The Deliberate Self‐Harm Syndrome” (DSH). The authors present a diagnostic formulation of the DSH syndrome (in the DSM‐III format) which consists of four essential clinical features, a group bof associteds features, clinical features, a group of associated features, a clinical course of typical onset in late adolescence, with multiple recurent episodes, with multiple methods of low lethality physical self‐injury, extending over many years. On the basis of relatively exclusive association of clinical signs and symptoms a heuristic clinical entity

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Patterson and Reid's formulation of coercive versus reciprocal control offers a theoretical model for understanding both parasuicide and nontherapeutic exchanges between treatment staff and repeat suicide attempters. An interpersonal treatment program, derived from the Patterson and Reid formulation, which has been consistently associated with positive changes in the course of hospitalization for moderate‐risk inpatients, is outlined, followed by a case illustration and discussion of the treatment strategy. The article stresses the importance of targeting the interpersonal environment as well as parasuicidal acts in the treatment program for repeat suicide attempter

摘要:

ABSTRACT:In eight years, 21183 San Diego County residents killed themselves. Of these, 52 had been at some time patients of one private psychiatric group. The suicide rate increased with age for the county population but not for the psychiatric patients. This difference was highly significant. Although older people generally are at greater risk for suicide, older psychiatric patients may be more responsive to treatment.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Research on suicide in latency age children is reviewed and case histories of two 9‐year‐old children who suicided by shooting themselves and one 7‐year‐old who died by self‐poisoning are presented. Similarities in environmental and family histories, and in personality variables among these three cases have suggested underlying mechanisms in development and maintenance of symbiotically shared self‐concept between parent and child which may be useful in helping to identify similar cases and in assessing potential for suicidal and self‐destructive behavior in latency
