“…The symptoms common to the suicides were those characteristic of depression and neurosis—namely, anxiety, sleep disturbance, eating disturbances, and other psychosomatic symptoms. Similar studies by Jacobziner (1965) and Faigel (1966) did not revealspecific presuicide syndromes. Other studies (de Catanzaro, 1981; Giovacchini, 1981; Shneidman, 1966, 1980) stress the importance of the interpersonal relationships of potential suicides.…”

The poetry of adolescents in despair may provide us with early signs of suicide; hence referral to professional help may result at an early stage. The present study concentrated on two adolescents who wrote poetry and committed suicide. The words used in these adolescents' poetry and in the poetry of two nonsuicidal adolescents were analyzed and classified into semantic fields. Significant differences were found between the suicide and the control groups. These differences showed themselves in the vigor and intensity of the loaded words in the suicide group, as well as in the more extreme occurrence of two major foci, "Death" and "Bad Situation." These foci are demonstrated in a constructed model that may guide parents and professionals in early detection of suicide.

“…Based on the data from all 313 students, the rate for the number of students who made an attempt and who also received medical help was 110 attempts per 15‐ to 19‐year‐old suicides in Kansas. Tuckman and Connon (1962) found a rate of 120 to 1, and Jacobziner (1965) found a rate of 100 to 1. Jacobziner believes that his 100‐to‐1 ratio, while still an underestimate, is closer to the true population rate than his earlier published and often cited 50‐to‐1 ratio (1960).…”

The findings of a pilot study, focusing on suicidal behaviors among 313 high school students in the Midwest, are discussed. Of all the students who participated in the study, 62.6% reported some degree of suicidal ideation or action, including 8.4% who had actually made a suicide attempt. The current study provides a linchpin between the studies of adolescent suicide attempt rates and the studies reporting on percentages of adolescents who made suicide attempts. When the percentage of attempters who made attempts but did not seek medical help is taken under consideration, these two groups of studies become equivalent. Apparently, suicide is a personal concern for most high school students--a problem that warrants immediate attention.

“…Given the lifeWhite threatening nature drug overdoses sometimes have, the imBlack portance of post-emergency room psychological treatment Unknown may even be more important than the immediate emergency medical treatment (Jacobziner, 1965). This study provides a description of the general characteristics of persons treated for acute drug reactions in the emergency room of a large pediatric hospital and the non-medical responses to those persons.…”
