A number of studies have investigated the relationship between suicide and perfectionism but none to our knowledge have been based on studies of completed suicides. This article aims to provide important insight into the potency that certain profiles of perfectionism can claim in the path to suicide by presenting three case studies from a U.K. study of student suicide. Collectively, these case studies provide theoretical support for existing frameworks and are consistent with other literature which emphasizes those forms of perfectionism that engender severe self-criticism and self-doubt and fear of failure as most destructive.
许多研究调查了自杀与完美主义之间的关系,但据我们所知,这些研究都没有基于对已完成的自杀事件的研究。本文旨在通过展示来自英国学生自杀研究的三个案例研究,为某些完美主义特征在自杀道路上的潜在作用提供重要的见解。这些案例研究共同为现有框架提供了理论支持,并与其他强调产生严重自我批评、自我怀疑和对失败的恐惧的完美主义形式的文献一致,这些形式被认为是最具破坏性的。
