TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Common suicidal subtypes and their treatment JO - American family physician A1 - Gold, D. D. Jr SP - 149 EP - 156 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - Self-destructive behavior is the final pathway for a variety of underlying problems. Because there is such a wide range of diagnostic possibilities in patients who attempt suicide, more precise diagnosis is essential. The often-asked question "Will the patient attempt suicide again?" is insufficient. Rather, an understanding of why the person is unhappy facilitates identification of the suicidal subtype and the necessary therapeutic interventions.
