“…I n many respects, SAs rather closely resemble the general psychiatric population in terms of interpersonal behavior, a finding supported by previous work of these authors (6). The critical difference between these groups is their method of adjustment to high anxiety and depression.…”

PROBLEMThe literature is replete with predictive studies of suicidal behavior based upon psychological tests. Those investigations that have dealt with self-concept in efforts to distinguish between suicidal and nonsuicidal psychiatric patients, however, were not based on standardized measures(e.g.o 4 ) . This study attempts to demonstrate self-concept differences between patients who attempt suicide and those who do not, and that an individual's concept of self, assessed prior to a suicidal act, is a highly effective predictor of that act.

“…In this approach, the presence, absence, or level of individual characteristics found in cases of suicidal behavior is compared to their presence, absence, or level within nonsuicidal persons. Classic examples of research based on this model include the studies reviewed by Neuringer (1965), in which the Rorschach test was used to characterize and predict suicidal behavior; the work of Shneidman and Farberow (1958) on the Thematic Apperception Test; the studies on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) by Devries and Farberow (1967), Farberow (1950), and Rosen (1954) ; and the studies of personal history and psychiatric status variables by Miskimins and Wilson (1969), Pokorny (1960), and Tuckman and Youngman (1968). An example of the sort of finding in studies based on this model is that older males are at greater risk of suicide than other individuals.…”

This article presents an analysis of the limitations inherent in five empirical research models that have been used to study suicidal behavior. These extant models were shown to have specific limitations in terms of their ability to reflect an interactional perspective on suicidal behavior. A more adequate research model was then developed and used to test two hypotheses derived from a general interactional thesis. The findings supported both hypotheses, thus providing considerable support for the general thesis-that such real-life behaviors cannot adequately be understood by recourse to either individual difference variables alone or environmental variables alone. The implications of these findings and the empirical research model that revealed them are discussed in terms of heuristic value and relevance to students of other forms of human behavior.

“…neuropsychiatric hospitals over three years, found that 75 percent of the suicide population had a diagnosis of psychosis, while only 61 percent of that population had a diagnosis of psychosis. On the other hand, Miskimmins and Wilson (1969), in a validation study of the Suicide Potential Schedule, found that the more symptoms of overt psychotic behavior, the lower the suicidal potential. The present study provides further clinical and statistical data on suicide in the population of hospitalized psychiatric patients and in the subpopulation of hospitalized criminal offenders.…”

The case records of 29 mentally disordered offenders who committed suicide in a state hospital were reviewed. Information was collected on demographic and clinical characteristics; time, method and location of the suicides; and the presence of suicide indicators. Comparisons were made between the characteristics of the suicide patients and those of the current hospital population. Major findings were: 80 percent of the suicides were committed by psychotic patients and 66 percent were by patients with diagnoses which included paranoia; 48 percent of the suicide patients had been charged with or convicted of murder or attempted murder; most suicides occurred in individual patient rooms; nearly 50 percent of the patients had a history of suicide attempts; and other common indicators of suicide risk were often masked by psychotic symptomatology. Several recommendations for identifying and managing potentially suicidal patients in this population are presented.
