TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Suicidal behaviour and HIV disease: A case report JO - Counselling psychology quarterly A1 - O'Donnell, I. A1 - Richard, F. A1 - Catalán, J. SP - 411 EP - 415 VL - 5 IS - 4 N2 - This case history describes the attempted suicide by jumping in front of a London Underground train of a man with advanced HIV disease. It illustrates the complex relationship between HIV disease and suicidal behaviour. Although the attempt was made by a man with AIDS, it is by no means evident that this disease was the sole or even the primary cause of his wish to die. This account isalso interesting because of the unusual method used, the sudden onset of suicidal feelings and the patient's interpretation of the reason for his survival. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
