Discovering the Truth in Attempted Suicide

Abstract: The findings of an international workshop on improving clinical interactions between mental health workers and suicidal patients are reported. Expert clinician-researchers identified common contemporary problems in interviews of suicide attempters. Various videotaped interviews of suicide attempters were critically discussed in relation to expert experience and the existing literature in this area. The working group agreed that current mental health practice often does not take into account the subjective expe… Show more

“…Even the assumption that 90% of all suicides are associated with mental disorders (Cavanagh, Carson, Sharpe, & Lawrie, 2003) is strongly challenged by researchers who argue that there is no valid evidence for this 90% statistic (Hjelmeland, Dieserud, Dyregrov, Knizek, & Leenaars, 2012).

“…Detta är psykiaterns främsta bundsförvant såväl vid psykisk sjukdom som suicidalitet. Den enskilda människans in flytande över sin sjukdom och sin suicidalitet behöver stärkas (Michel 2002, Sheldon 2003, Hellström 2013.…”

“…En behandlare som sitter på andra sidan skrivbordet med patienten på tre till fyra meters avstånd kan således missa det väsentliga i kommunikationen. Samtalet tillfredsställer då klinikerns behov mer än patientens enligt Michel (2002).…”

“…Suicide is a long process that is affected by past events (Michel et al 2002;Wasserman 2016c). Dieserud and colleagues 2002 found in their study on the association between negative childhood issues and suicide attempts that negative childhood events affected suicidal behaviours.…”
