Compared to drug addicts without histories of suicidal attempt (n = 50), drug addicts who have attempted suicide (n = 50) were characterized by higher levels of maladjustment--particularly in the areas of depression, feelings of alienation, and use of projection and externalization--and were more emotionally withdrawn. Certain Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) codetypes appeared in the attempt group that were not present in the no history group. Drug addicts with suicidal ideation but no history of attempt (n = 13) were not significantly different from the other two groups, and their inclusion as a comparison group masked the real differences between the other two groups. The MMPI results suggest it may be possible to identify a suicide attempt group in substance abusers but not when contrasted with a suicidal ideation group. Treatment implications are considered.
与没有自杀未遂史的吸毒者（n = 50）相比，有自杀未遂经历的吸毒者（n = 50）表现出更高水平的适应不良——尤其是在抑郁、疏离感以及投射和外化方面——并且在情感上更加孤僻。明尼苏达多相人格问卷（MMPI）的某些编码类型出现在自杀未遂组中，而在无自杀史组中不存在。有自杀意念但无自杀未遂史的吸毒者（n = 13）与其他两组没有显著差异，将他们纳入作为对照组掩盖了其他两组之间的真正差异。MMPI结果表明，有可能在药物滥用者中识别出自杀未遂组，但与有自杀意念组对比时则无法识别。文中还考虑了治疗方面的影响。
