Abstract

Patients with a suicide attempt were re-examined 3 to 8 years after treatment in a crisis intervention ward by use of a semi-structured interview and self-rating scales. Their psychosocial development during the study period was evaluated in regard to number and quality of life-events, coping-behaviour and self-concept, sociodemographic variables, the subjective evaluation of the treatment in the crisis intervention ward by the patients and their compliance in respect of the proposed aftercare. Conclusions for treatment and further rehabilitation of patients with suicide-attempt will be drawn.
