Suicide Life Threat Behav. 1978 Winter;8(4):225-42.
From a population of 662 children 12 years of age and under, seen at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, during the years 1970 to 1974, 34 severely depressed children were identified who were also self-abusive and/or suicidal. Case study revealed fragmented, pathological homes, where the children's affect disorders and behaviors were symptomatic of acute family breakdown, marital disharmony, and observed and experienced violence, both verbal and physical. Follow-up on all available children, at least three years posttreatment, revealed that no child had committed suicide. Treatment evaluation by the parents was highly positive, with the great majority of children showing fair to good recovery and adjustment.
在1970年至1974年期间，加州大学洛杉矶分校神经精神病学研究所对662名12岁及以下儿童进行了研究，从中识别出34名严重抑郁且有自我伤害和/或自杀行为的儿童。案例研究显示，这些儿童的家庭支离破碎且病态，他们的情感障碍和行为是家庭急性破裂、婚姻不和以及言语和身体暴力的表现。对所有可追踪儿童进行至少三年的治疗后随访发现，没有儿童自杀。家长对治疗的评价非常积极，绝大多数儿童都有较好至良好的恢复和适应情况。
