This brief paper focuses on a rather recondite aspect of the suicidal scenario: dissembling (feigning, pretending, withholding). Most individuals who commit suicide exhibit prodromal indicia in the month before. These verbal and behavioral clues are found in about 90% of psychological autopsies of suicidal deaths. As for the other 10% who mask or hide their lethal intentions, we do well to assume that even some hidden clues might be deciphered by the skillful clinician or the alert friend or colleague.
掩饰（假装、隐匿）。大多数自杀者在自杀前一个月会表现出前驱迹象。这些言语和行为线索在约90%的自杀死亡心理剖析中被发现。至于另外10%掩盖或隐藏其致命意图的人，我们不妨假定，即使是一些隐藏的线索，也可能被技艺娴熟的临床医生或警觉的朋友或同事识破。
