“…Thus, as might have been expected, the diagnostic distribution of the former inpatients committing suicide showed more similarity to the diagnostic distribution of the suicides committed by the general population, where depression and alcoholism were most frequently identified (1,2,22), than to the diagnostic distribution of the inpatients Committing suicide. In agreement with our results, a high percentage or even an overrepresentation of schizophrenics (23)(24)(25) and an underrepresentation of alcoholics among psychiatric hospital patients committing suicide (23,26,27) has been noted.…”

A total of 49 psychiatric inpatient suicides were compared with 53 former psychiatric inpatients who had committed suicide within one year after their discharge. Significant differences were found in the diagnostic distribution of both groups, especially the predominance of schizophrenics among inpatient suicides, and of alcoholics and drug abusers among suicides of former inpatients. Furthermore, some other important differences between the groups emerged that bore practical implications. In different diagnostic groups suicide occurs for different reasons and based on different psychosocial backgrounds. In the investigation of suicide in psychiatric patients, homogeneity of the population studied in terms of patient status should be strived for.

“…Die Suizidmortalität unter stationären behandlungsbedingungen war also immer schon ein thema der Psychiatrie. in der deutschen Psychiatrie der nachkriegszeit tauchte das thema dann im Zusammenhang mit der Psychiatriereform in den 70er Jahren wieder auf, u. a. als Koester u. engels [15] über eine Suizidrate von 57,4 auf 100.000 stationäre Patienten pro Jahr zwischen 1962 und 1968 berichteten. Seither tauchte immer wieder der Vorhalt der "Zunahme" von Suiziden unter stationären behandlungsbedingungen in den psychiatrischen Kliniken auf, der sich im Wesentlichen auf die schizophrenen Patienten beziehen sollte.…”

“…Much higher suicide rates are arrived at when specific pathological groups or special institutions are considered, as the examples of Wolpert et al (1976) for schizophrenic, Wolfersdorf and Vogel (1984) for depressive, Bischof (1985) for forensic, and Brook (1985) for longstay-inpatients demonstrate.

The first part of our paper provides an overview of literature on clinic suicides in regard to suicide numbers and rates. The main focus of attention is on articles from the last 30 years. The second part examines the hypothesis that there exists a linear increase in both the number of admission and the absolute number of suicides, and thus a connection between increases in admissions and discharges and in suicides. Using selected examples, we found less where there was a direct connection between patient turnover and the number of suicides (with the suicide rate remaining constant), and others in which suicide rates also increased, seeming to indicate the influence of other factors. A list of selected studies from the psychiatric literature of the 19th century suggests that clinic suicide is one of the oldest problems known to psychiatry and that suicide rates calculated from 19th century data are by and large comparable to those of today. Clinic suicide would thus appear to be a problem of psychiatry in general and not only one of modem psychiatry or of modern methods of treatment.
