“…Between 2015 and 2017, eligible SSs were recruited consecutively from user of SOPROXI Project (40, 41). Soproxi project (www.soproxi.it) was established in Padua, Italy, in 2006, to offer information, support, treatment provision, awareness-building and educational campaigns, to people -mainly relatives and friends- who have experienced the suicide of someone close.…”

Background: The study of Suicidal ideation (SI) in people bereaved through suicide (Suicide Survivors, SSs) could be hampered by the person's willingness to admit it, or by their limited awareness of it. Our main hypothesis is that SI is common in these people, especially if they are parents or children of the victim. For its potential in shedding light on specific unconscious processes, Rorschach test was chosen for our investigation, for the first time in SSs literature. Rorschach suicide ideation and selected variables were further analyzed to better delineate their psychological profile.Method: Rorschach according to Exner's Comprehensive System was administered to 21 people bereaved through suicide presenting as outpatients at SOPROXI Project Service—Padova Mental Health Center- and 23 healthy controls. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was routinely administered to SSs and considered in the study.Results: T-tests showed significantly higher mean SI score (S-Con) as it emerged from the Rorschach test S-Con scores in SSs compared to control participants. SI found only weak correlation with the BDI item in which SSs can explicitly state the desire for their death. Within-group analysis revealed higher S-Con mean scores in bereaved children and parents of the victim compared to other kind of kinships. Morbid content (MOR) has been fund as the most characterizing variable in SSs' S-Con in terms of effect size, followed by a low number of responses with an ordinary form (X +%). Human movements (M), Special Scores related to thought slippage (ALOG, FABCOM2, INCOM2, and CONTAM) and poor human representations (PHR) have been shown to be more significantly present in SSs compared controls.Discussion: Psychodynamic interpretations of our results are provided. Clinical practice should consider Rorschach as one of eligible tools of investigation on this field.

Mindfulness-based weekend retreats seem to be effective in alleviating the psychological distress of suicide survivors in the short term. The benefit may depend on standard mindfulness practices and on more tailored interventions aimed at promoting acceptance of loss, forgiveness and rage management, and thus reducing rumination. Since there is no established treatment for this population, this type of intervention, which seems feasible and well accepted by participants, paves the way for future research in this area.

“…While compared with non-bereaved controls, they showed no confidence in the persons in their network any more (Farberow, Gallagher-Thompson, Gilewski, & Thompson, 1992b). Some researchers thought that persons who were close to the deceased were at heightened risk for complicated grief or other psychosocial consequences (Mitchell, Kim, Prigerson, & Mortimer-Stephens, 2004; Prigerson, Bierhals, Kasl, Reynolds, Shear, Day, et al, 1997; Scocco, Frasson, Costacurta, & Pavan, 2006), and the familial transmission of suicidal behavior had been demonstrated (Brent, Oquendo, Birmaher, Greenhill, Kolko, Stanley, et al, 2002; Melhem, Brebt, Ziegler, Iyengar, Kolko, Oquendo, et al, 2007). In this study, we want to know whether there are differences in attitudes toward suicide between the informants of suicides and the informants of living controls, between the family members of suicides and the family members of non-suicides, and between the family members of suicides and non-family members of suicides.…”

Attitudes toward Suicide: The Effect of Suicide Death in the Family

There have been few reports on the effect of suicide death on family members’ attitudes toward suicide. In order to estimate the extent to which suicide death affects attitudes toward suicide among family members of suicides, data of 264 informants from a case-control psychological autopsy study were analyzed. The results showed that there were no significant differences in attitudes toward suicide, measured by the General Social Survey’s (GSS) four questions, between informants of suicides and informants of living controls, between family members of suicides and family members of living controls, or between family members of suicides and non-family members of suicides. Our findings did not support the hypothesis that suicide death affects the attitudes toward suicide in suicides’ family members. However, some factors were found to be related to the pro-suicide attitudes measured by the four questions included in the GSS.
