“…However, Grilo, Sanislow, Fehon et al, (1999b) found that adolescent inpatients with high levels of childhood abuse did have higher levels of suicide risk, even when controlling for depressive symptoms. Beautrais, Joyce, and Mulder (1996) and Laederach, Ladame, Fischer et al (1999) both also found that childhood sexual abuse increased the risk for suicide attempts.…”

This article reviews the empirical literature concerning social and interpersonal variables as risk factors for adolescent suicidality (suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, death by suicide). It also describes major social constructs in theories of suicide and the extent to which studies support their importance to adolescent suicidality. PsychINFO and PubMed searches were conducted for empirical studies focused on family and friend support, social isolation, peer victimization, physical/sexual abuse, or emotional neglect as these relate to adolescent suicidality. Empirical findings converge in documenting the importance of multiple social and interpersonal factors to adolescent suicidality. Research support for the social constructs in several major theories of suicide is summarized and research challenges are discussed.

“…Several other hospital-based studies used cross-sectional samples (Grilo, Sanislow, Fehon et al, 1999a;Grilo, Sanislow, Fehon et al, 1999b;Laederach, Ladame, Fischer et al, 1999;Lipschitz, Hartnick, Wolfson et al, 1999;Lyon, Benoit, O'Donnell et al, 2000). The findings from these are somewhat mixed.…”

“…Eighty female patients aged between 15 and 20 years consulting a psychiatric outpatient service for adolescents in Geneva, Switzerland, were elected to participate in the study. The first subgroup consisted of 40 patients admitted to the emergency department of the Geneva University Hospital for attempted suicide and enrolled in a larger prospective outcome study of adolescent suicide attempts [10]. This first subgroup, characterized by suicide attempt (SA), was compared to 40 female patients who were referred to the Adolescent Psychiatry Unit having no history of suicide attempt (no attempt, NA).…”

Anxiety disorders, comorbidity, and suicide attempts in adolescence: a preliminary investigation

et al. 1999

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The prevalence of anxiety disorders and associated DSM-III-R diagnoses were measured in a sample of 80 female adolescents aged between 15 to 20 years consulting an outpatient psychiatric service for adolescents. The suicide attempt group (SA) included 40 patients evaluated within 24 h after attempted suicide. This is compared to 40 consecutive patients consulting the same center but without any history of suicide attempt (the no attempt group, NA). The global prevalence of anxiety disorders was similar in both groups (SA: 65% vs. NA: 60%, NS) as was the relative importance of the different disorders in each group, generalized anxiety being the most frequent specific anxiety disorder. The most striking difference between the two groups was in the prevalence of affective disorders in 90% (SA) vs. 32.5% (NA) (P < 0.001), leading to high rates of comorbidity on axis I in the SA group. Of the 24 patients with anxiety disorders who attempted suicide, 21 (95%) fulfilled criteria for associated major depression, compared to five out of 21 (24%) patients with anxiety disorders who had not attempted suicide. Adolescents with anxiety disorders developing major depression are at a high risk for suicide. The depression may be of short duration (less than two weeks) when compared to that of the anxiety disorder (greater than six months). To improve suicide prevention, our findings if confirmed should encourage clinicians to perform a close follow-up of adolescents with anxiety disorders for an early detection of sudden depressive breakdowns.

In adolescence, narcissistic fragility is closely linked to the revival of oedipal conflict.…”

Suicidal acts during adolescence reveal narcissistic vulnerabilities. The author's observation concerns the quality of ego boundaries, as well as their evolution. Longitudinal studies were conducted on the basis of interviews and projective tests performed within 15 days after the suicide attempt and once again the following year. The quantitative analyses of Fisher and Cleveland's Barrier/Penetration scores on the Rorschach show the evolution of identity mechanisms. The results underscore the importance of restoring psychic containers of identity.
