Interviews with seven of ten known survivors of jumps from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge revealed that all of them experienced transcendence and spiritual rebirth phenomena. The psychotherapeutic implications of these findings lie in helping depressed and suicidal individuals confront death in a symbolic and meaningful way. The issue is one of "egocide" (symbolic suicide) and aiding individuals in the rebirth process. In this way actual suicides can be prevented. When individuals experience partial "deaths" (like loss, failure, rejection, depression, suicidal states, or negative parts of their egos), there is opportunity for "rebirth" (positive transformation, creative change, growth, and significant spiritual reawakening). The therapeutic task is to help individuals differentiate between "ego death" and total death and to discover through the creative process of psychotherapy that overt suicide need not be a solution.
对已知的十位从金门大桥和旧金山-奥克兰海湾大桥跳下的幸存者中的七位进行访谈后发现，他们所有人都经历了超越和精神重生现象。这些发现对心理治疗的意义在于帮助抑郁和有自杀倾向的个体以一种象征性且有意义的方式面对死亡。问题在于“自我毁灭”（象征性自杀）以及帮助个体进行重生过程。通过这种方式可以预防实际的自杀行为。当个体经历部分“死亡”（如失去、失败、被拒绝、抑郁、自杀状态或自我的负面部分）时，就有“重生”（积极转变、创造性改变、成长以及重大的精神觉醒）的机会。治疗任务是帮助个体区分“自我死亡”和完全死亡，并通过心理治疗的创造性过程发现公开自杀不一定是一种解决方案。
