Abstract

An analysis of the temporal distribution of 115 in-patient suicides that occurred in two Swiss psychiatric hospitals in the years 1977-86 failed to reveal any statistically significant clustering of suicides. Thus, the modelling effect does not generally play a decisive role in psychiatric in-patient suicide.
