Attempted suicide is a behavioural pattern with complex psychological and sociological determinants, many of which have been extensively studied in recent years. The basic facts of its changing incidence, its demography, and its place within a broader spectrum of self-destructive behaviour are well established but authorities are still divided on many issues related to its aetiology, its function in the individual and the kinds of services required for its clinical management. (Kessel 1965, Anderson 1974, Weissman 1974, Henderson and Williams 1974). The study reported here was designed partly to define the characteristics of a group of patients for whom clinical services were being planned and partly as a pilot study to develop a methodology for a more extensive controlled study which we hope to carry out next year. The preliminary findings are sufficiently interesting to report now.
自杀未遂是一种具有复杂心理和社会学决定因素的行为模式，近年来其中许多因素已得到广泛研究。其发病率变化、人口统计学特征以及在更广泛的自我毁灭行为范围内的地位等基本事实已得到充分确立，但在许多与其病因、在个体中的作用以及临床管理所需服务类型相关的问题上，权威观点仍存在分歧。（凯塞尔，1965年；安德森，1974年；魏斯曼，1974年；亨德森和威廉姆斯，1974年）。此处报告的研究部分旨在界定计划提供临床服务的一组患者的特征，部分作为一项试点研究，以开发一种方法，用于我们希望明年开展的更广泛的对照研究。初步研究结果非常有趣，足以现在就进行报告。
