ABSTRACT:The decade of the 70's has been reviewed with the documentSuicide Prevention in the 70'sserving as a guide. Twenty‐one goals put forward in the report were reviewed in light of subsequent progress in the field. Although progress was noted on many fronts, four areas were outstanding in the sense that envisioned goals were met or exceeded. These involved the areas of promulgation of information about suicide, establishment of standards and certification procedures, development of regional organizations to forward training and program development, and education of the public to improve awareness of suicide as a public problem. This analysis also identified areas where little or no progress has been made. From this there developed four recommendations:1The funding and establishment of a national case file using a standard nomenclature and a standard data base to improve epidemiologic knowledge, and to provide pooled data appropriate for more sophisticated research analyses.2The establishment of a task force to study the application of program evaluation methods to suicide prevention efforts.3The development of new programs at local levels to try to reach known high‐risk groups and to provide relevant programs of suicide prevention for them.4Making creative efforts toward elaboration of a comprehensive theory of life‐threatening behavior and exploration of developmental correlates of such beh

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Twenty homicide‐suicides, drawn from death records of three major eastern United States cities, were analyzed in comparison to prior studies and samples of homicide offenders and suicide victims. Results indicated a lower incidence for this event than reported previously and several distinguishing characteristics of the murderer who subsequently commits suicide. Two primary types, from the perspective of ego fusion, are discusse

摘要:

ABSTRACT:The relationship between substance abuse and suicide is indicated by the high rate of attempted suicide among alcoholics and drug abusers as well as the increased likelihood of repeated attempts in these populations. This study reports on the psychological characteristics of male drug suicide attempters who are in treatment for their addiction problem. Data collected from 166 veterans included background information, symptoms, mood, social functioning, and attitude measures. Of the drug abuse patients, 26 percent reported having made a suicide attempt. These subjects were found to be significantly more depressed, angry, insecure, and anxious than the nonsuicide‐attempt drug abusers. Treatment staff need to be sensitized to the possibility of repeated suicide attempts among substance abuse patient

摘要:

ABSTRACT:In 1976 four psychotherapists in training at one institution had patients who committed suicide. The therapists met as a group over a one‐year period. This paper presents brief case summaries, explores the reactions of each therapist, presents conclusions regarding the mourning process following patients' suicides, and puts forth implications and suggestions for training programs. The authors conclude that it is necessary for therapists, supervisors, and training programs to recognize the inevitability of crises and tragedies when working with disturbed persons and that, though the process of mourning must be worked through individually, training settings can permit therapists to experience the pain and loneliness while providing opportunities for mastery and growt
