“…In Portugal, to the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the impact of suicide on suicide risk of individuals bereaved by suicide, namely regarding the variables that might be related to suicidal ideation and risk, such as distress. Suicidal ideation is considered a key indicator of suicide risk (Ash, 2006;Bolognini, Plancherel, Laget, & Halfon, 2003;Bonner & Rich, 1987;Joiner et al, 2005;Linehan, 1981). Thus, identifying factors potentially contributing to suicidal ideation in family members bereaved by suicide is critical for the reduction and prevention of suicide thoughts and the transition from ideation to suicide (Kessler, Borges, & Walters, 1999;Mann et al, 2005).…”

“…Beck et al (1979) suggested that modification of dysfunctional beliefs and self-defeating thought patterns is an effective treatment for loneliness. Other researchers have concurred with this strategy (Blai, 1989;Brage et al, 1993;Rich & Bonnet, 1987). However, cognitive therapy should target the alleviation of loneliness and not simply make one cognitively adept at coping with the problem.…”

“…Bonner and Rich & Bonnet, 1987) have provided evidence that social support moderates the relation ship between life stress and depression, and Bamett and Gotlib (1988) showed that, even when the effects of concurrent symptoms are controlled, low social integration may be involved in the etiology of depression. Leary (1990) also concluded that, although not all depression is caused by social exclusion, social exclusion generally causes depression.…”

“…In line with other research that has shown an increased risk of depression in caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease (Crook & Miller, 1985;Eisdorfer, Kennedy, Wisnieski, & Cohen, 1983), George andGwyther (1984, cited in Kiecolt-Glaser et al, 1987) found that the caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease reported decreased wellbeing when their caregiving interfered with their ability to maintain an active social life. Conversely, Rich and Bonnet (1987) showed that social support, especially family support, served as a buffer on the effects of life stress on depression. The reality that humans are social animals is reflected in the debilitating effects of the removal of social support and in the buffering effects of its presence.…”

In addition to the emotional trauma and psychological suffering inflicted on the victims, these problems exact a heavy monetary toll on society. Like a pebble tossed into a pond, these problems have their most obvious effects at the point of entry, but the impact radiates outward in an ever-widening circle. Perhaps this simile is too optimistic: It implies that one can observe and predict relatively low-level effects as the modestsized waves dissipate at increasing distances from the initial point of impact. A coastal earthquake may provide a better analogy. The most obvious victims are those at the epicenter-the shy, the lonely, and the depressed. However, such traumatic events can lead to unexpected problems at quite some distance, just as the tsunami created by the earthquake can appear suddenly and unexpectedly thousands of miles away. For example, it is not simply the immediate family who suffer with the shy, lonely, and depressed; coworkers, friends, and acquaintances of the family may also be adversely affected. The health care costs, lost days at work, increased accident rates, and decreased productivity of the immediate victims and these "ripple effect" victims are all consequences of shyness, loneliness, and depression.Other hidden costs also accrue. For instance, there are theoretical and empirical reasons to suspect that these problems in living increase the likelihood of a variety of violent behaviors, ranging from child abuse to murder. For instance, Lee, Zimbardo, and Bertholf (1977) showed that convicted murderers who had no prior history of violence were unusually shy. Shyness, loneliness, and depression may all increase a variety of aggressive behaviors through at least three separate mechanisms (e.g., Anderson, Anderson, & Deuser, 1996; see also Berkowitz, 1993;Geen, 1990). First, the lack of satisfying interpersonal ties may contribute to a lower or less effective set of inhibitions against aggression. Second, the high level of negative affect characteristic of these problems in living may increase unwarranted aggression. Finally, these problems may prime aggressive thoughts, thus producing increases in aggression. THE ROLE OF MODERN SOCIETYNumerous characteristics of modern society contribute to shyness, loneliness, and depression. The high mobility in U.S. society makes it difficult to develop and maintain close interpersonal relationships, even within families. Similarly, the loss of intergenerational ties and the rise of single-parent families contribute to the social isolation that underlies many of the problems in living. These characteristics of modem U.

“…Suicide ideation can be operationalised as ranging from relatively mild, general thoughts about death and wishes that one was dead to serious ideation about specific plans and means of taking one's life. It may also be considered a primary marker for the risk of more suicidal behaviours (Bonner & Rich, 1987;Reynolds, 1991a;Shea, 1998). Schotte and Clum (1982) as well as Bonner and Rich (1987) found a relationship between the frequency of suicide ideation and the likelihood of attempts at suicide, but Reynolds (1991a) found that a larger proportion of individuals think about suicide than actually attempt suicide.…”

The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between coping and stress on the one hand and suicide ideation among police members on the other. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The study population (N = 307) consisted of uniformed police members in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The COPE, Police Stress Inventory, Adult Suicide Ideation Questionnaire and a Biographical Questionnaire were used as measuring instruments. The results showed that passive coping strategies are related to suicide ideation. A discriminant analysis showed that suicide attempt, passive coping strategies, medical conditions, use of alcohol, problem-focused coping strategies and police-specific demands correctly classified 64.29 per cent of participants who scored high on suicide ideation.
