TY - JOUR PY - 1950// TI - Attempted suicide: a psychiatric and statistical study JO - Psychiatric quarterly A1 - Hendin, Herbert SP - 39 EP - 46 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - A description of some of the personality factors involved in the individuals attempting suicide who comprise the various psychiatric groupings has been given. Such material should be of aid in clinical evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and in guiding therapy, in patients who attempt suicide. It is felt that quantitative methods of evaluating both intent and depression such as those presented, give aid in comprehending the general problems of attempted suicide and are of help in specifically understanding the individual case. A working theory consistent with the information obtained in this study has also been postulated.
