The number of patients who are referred for a psychiatric opinion as cases of attempted suicide seems to be increasing. One hundred and seven patients, 70 females and 37 males, were referred to the author during the period of the one year study, all but three were cases of deliberate self-poisoning. Only a minority of the group, three males and 11 females, regretted that the attempted had not been successful and all were admitted to the psychiatric hospital. A large majority of the patients were provisionally diagnosed as suffering from a reactive depression, consequent in many instances upon the breakdown of some aspect of interpersonal relationships.
因自杀未遂而被转介寻求精神科意见的患者人数似乎在增加。在为期一年的研究期间，有107名患者被转介给作者，其中70名女性，37名男性，除3人外均为蓄意自我中毒病例。该组中只有少数人，3名男性和11名女性，对自杀未遂未成功感到遗憾，他们都被收治进了精神病院。绝大多数患者被初步诊断为患有反应性抑郁症，这在很多情况下是人际关系某些方面破裂的结果。
