“…The multiple losses in this family case involved issues that can be difficult to acknowledge openly and for which there is often limited social support. The complications of social support also were noted by Lindqvist et al (2008) in their study of families in which a teenager committed suicide. Laura not only expressed appreciation for the therapy support she received but also repeatedly mentioned the helpful sensitivity and kindness of law enforcement officers and other legal officials (e.g., coroner) involved in the deaths of Ann and her mother.…”

A phenomenological case study of a family in which the father committed suicide following incarceration and an adult daughter also committed suicide years later is described. This study used an embedded design to triangulate multiple sources of data (family documents and interviews with survivors) within the study of a single family. Four themes emerged to describe the relational dynamics between the father and adult daughter: (a) Mirroring, (b) Caretaking, (c) Death, and (d) Suicide. Four themes emerged from interviews with survivors about their coping process: (a) Ongoing Grief process, (b) Media Exploitation, (c) Separation and Transformation, and (d) Forgiveness. Results are discussed in terms of prevention and family processes in coping with suicide.

“…Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-24 (Hoyert & Xu, 2012). Adolescent depression and suicide risk and the associated isolation, hopelessness and helplessness are extremely stressful and painful for affected teens and their families (Lindqvist, Johansson, & Karlsson, 2008). The traumatic loss of a young person is devastating for families, peers, and communities (Brent et al, 1989;Gould, Petrie, Kleinman, & Wallenstein, 1994).…”

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is a manualized family-based intervention designed for working with depressed adolescents, including those at risk for suicide, and their families. It is an empirically informed and supported treatment. ABFT has its theoretical underpinnings in attachment theory and clinical roots in structural family therapy and emotion focused therapies. ABFT relies on a transactional model that aims to transform the quality of adolescent-parent attachment, as a means of providing the adolescent with a more secure relationship that can support them during challenging times generally, and the crises related to suicidal thinking and behavior, specifically. This article reviews: (1) the theoretical foundations of ABFT (attachment theory, models of emotional development); (2) the ABFT clinical model, including training and supervision factors; and (3) empirical support.

“…During the period immediately after a death by suicide, grieving family members or friends have difficulty understanding what has happened and why it has happened. [3,47] Survivors of suicide victims self-reproach by thinking they were inadequate parents and that they failed to anticipate the tragedy. They search for the motive behind the suicide and feel a sense of helplessness.…”

ÖZETHer yıl tüm dünyada yaklaşık bir milyon insan özkıyım nedeniyle hayatını kaybetmekte ve bu dünyadaki tüm ölümlerin %1.5'ini oluşturmaktadır. Özkıyım genel olarak erişkinlerde ölüm nedenleri arasında 10. sırada yer alırken 10-24 yaş arasındaki çocuk ve ergenlerde ölüm nedenleri arasında üçüncü sıradadır. İlk özkıyım girişiminde hayatta kalanlar arasında daha sonra özkıyımı tamamlayanların karakteristikleri hakkındaki bilgi azdır. Muhtemel bir özkıyım girişimini kestirmeye yarayabilecek risk faktörlerini tanımak çok önemlidir. Bir kez özkıyım girişiminde bulunan birisinin tekrar özkıyım girişiminde bulunma riski artmıştır. Özkıyım davranışı olan çoğu çocuk ve ergen başta duygudurum bozukluğu olmak üzere en azından bir psikiyatrik bozukluğa sahiptir. Risk faktörlerinin araştırılması, özkıyımın aileler ve toplum üzerindeki etkisi, gelecekteki araştırmalara tavsiyeler bu gözden geçirmenin amaçları arasında bulunmaktadır. Anahtar Sözcükler: Özkıyım, çocuk, ergen ABSTRACT Every year, almost one million people commit suicide worldwide which is approximately 1.5% of all deaths. Thus suicide is 10th leading cause of death globally and the third leading cause of death among children and adolescents ages 10 to 24 years. Little is known about the characteristics of successive attempts among individuals who survive the first suicide attempt. It is very important to identify risk factors that can be predictive of future suicide attempts. Subjects with one suicide attempt had an increased risk for a future attempt. Most children and adolescents with suicidal behavior have at least one psychiatric disorder with mood disorders being the most common. A thorough examination of risk factors, the impact of suicidal behavior on patients and on their families and communities, and recommended directions for future research are main focus of this review.
