SP - 337 EP - 340 VL - 28 IS - 7 N2 - Newer publications about psychiatric in-patient suicide discuss the so-called "increase hypothesis" of suicide of mentally ill in-patients controversially. In our study of in-patient suicides of the Bezirkskrankenhaus Bayreuth, a state mental hospital for adult psychiatry, the number of suicides and suicide rate over 25 years 1979 - 2000 did not show any increase. During the last 4 - 5 years we observe a trend toward a decrease.
