Abstract

Because of the scarcity of the research on the interruptions of treatment with adolescents and the clinical importance of suicide attempts in this population, the author studies the relation between these two variables. Using a group of nearly 300 adolescents, he statistically compares a certain number of socio-demographic and clinical factors in adolescents who have committed suicide and those who haven't. If the global frequency of treatment interruption is comparable in both groups, a further analysis of the data shows the importance of a very intensive initial treatment program for the first group. Among the other results, like previous researches, this study points out a statistically significant relation between sexual violence and suicide attempts, as well as the frequency, also statistically higher in patients who have tried to commit suicide than in others, of a psychopathological diagnostic, in particular depression.
